CUIABA, Brazil, June 24 (Xinhua) -- Colombia goalkeeper Faryd Mondragon was the oldest player at a World Cup when he came on as a late substitute in the 4-1 win over Japan on Tuesday.
Mondragon broke the record held by Cameroon striker Roger Milla, who was 42 when he played in the 1994 finals in the United States.
Mondragon entered in the 85th minute when his team was 3-1 ahead.
Colombia marched into the round of 16 knockout stage after three wins from as many Group C matches.
