Earlier on Sunday, Senegal and Japan, the other two countries in Group H, tied 2-2.
After emerging triumphant from their first games last Tuesday, Senegal, which beat Poland 2-1, and Japan, which beat Colombia 2-1, are ranked equal first with four points apiece ahead of their last group-round matches.
After beating Poland, Colombia has three points.
With two losses after two games, Poland has zero points.
Poland faces Japan, and Colombia plays against Senegal, on Thursday. The winner and first runner-up from the group will continue to the knockout stage of the tournament.
