Rodriguez had been stuck on six goals since netting from the spot as Colombia exited the competition at the quarter-final stage when beaten 2-1 by Brazil.

Monaco attacking Rodriguez scored six goals in five games, opening his account in a 3-0 win over Greece, scoring in victories over Ivory Coast and Japan, before his double in the last 16 against Uruguay which included a contender for Goal of the Tournament.
