Switzerland beat Colombia, to face Argentina in Quarterfinals

Switzerland ⁠beat Colombia 4-3 ​on penalties after a goalless draw stretched through 120 minutes on Tuesday, reaching the World Cup quarter-finals ​for the first time since 1954 and setting up a meeting with holders Argentina. The shootout swung in Switzerland's favour when their goalkeeper Gregor Kobel saved Cucho Hernandez's penalty after Davinson Sanchez had earlier hit the ​crossbar for ‌Colombia. It was heartbreak for Colombia, who were bidding to reach ‌the quarters for only the second time in their history, having previously done ⁠so at the 2014 World Cup in Brazil.

The best opportunity of the first half arrived in the 21st minute when Colombia midfielder Gustavo Puerta curled a shot towards the ​far corner from around 18 yards, forcing Kobel into a superb diving save ‌to his left. Switzerland responded moments later, but Colombia goalkeeper Camilo Vargas was equal to Fabian Rieder's effort from a tight angle. 
The Swiss will face Argentina ⁠in the quarters ​in Kansas City after Lionel Scaloni's side produced a stunning comeback from two goals down to defeat Egypt 3-2 earlier on Tuesday.
