Substitute Rubén Vargas scored the winning penalty in Vancouver following a heroic save from Switzerland goalkeeper Gregor Kobel to deny Cucho Hernández, after earlier misses from Colombia's Davinson Sánchez and Switzerland's Manuel Akanji. Both sides were evenly matched throughout 120 goalless minutes, with Colombia finishing with a superior xG of 1.03 to 0.35, though they were unfortunate to see Lucumi hit the crossbar and Campaz fire wastefully over in extra time. It is the first time Switzerland have won a shootout at a World Cup, having lost out on their only other previous attempt against Ukraine in 2006, and it secured their passage to the quarterfinals of a World Cup for the first time since 1954. Switzerland will now face Argentina in Kansas City in the quarterfinals.
