Commentary
Well, there we have it, Switzerland win the shoot-out 4-3 after a goalless draw after extra-time. It's more penalty heartache for Colombia, who were beaten by England on penalties in the last 16 back in 2018. It's a case of what might have been for the South Americans, who saw Lucumi hit the crossbar and Campaz fire wastefully over in the additional time - and they finished a superior xG of 1.03 to 0.35. To penalties it went, and Sanchez smashed the crossbar for Colombia, though Akanji leathering his effort over the top earned a reprieve. But Kobel saved Hernandez's effort, and Ruben Vargas netted the final spot-kick to put Switzerland into the last eight for the first time since 1954 when they were hosts. Next up is a quarter-final tie with Argentina in Kansas City on Saturday, it doesn't get much tougher! Thanks for sticking with us for this one folks, until next time!
FULL-TIME: SWITZERLAND 0-0 COLOMBIA (AET, SWITZERLAND WIN 4-3 ON PENALTIES)

RUBEN VARGAS SCORES! SWITZERLAND BEAT COLOMBIA 4-3 ON PENALTIES! It's a lovely effort tucked into the bottom-left corner past Camilo Vargas!

DIAZ SCORES! It was a long stutter, but boy Diaz places that beautifully into the bottom-left corner, with Kobel guessing the wrong way. It's locked at 3-3, but Switzerland have the chance to win it.

DOWN THE MIDDLE! Itten keeps his cool, placing his effort straight down the centre. Switzerland lead 3-2, and they're on the brink now!

SAVED! COLOMBIA CAN'T TAKE ADVANTAGE! Hernandez goes for power to his left, but Kobel springs to his right to parry the ball away! It's 2-2 but Switzerland have the advantage!
