Colombia striker Teofilo Gutierrez has praised fans for their overwhelming support during the country's 3-0 win over Greece at the World Cup.

Thousands of Colombian supporters filled the Estadio Mineirao in Belo Horizonte on Saturday to see their team ease past the Greeks in their opening match of the tournament.

Colombia continue their campaign on Thursday when they meet Ivory Coast.
