Match Report
Switzerland and Colombia played out a goalless 120 minutes in Vancouver. Colombia had the better of it in open play — 15 shots to Switzerland's 7 — and Lucumí hit the post at 99' on the end of a Quintero assist, the clearest chance in extra time. Gregor Kobel made three saves to keep the Swiss level.
The shootout swung both ways. Davinson Sánchez missed Colombia's second kick; Akanji missed Switzerland's third to leave it at 2-2. Kobel then saved Cucho Hernández's attempt to hand Switzerland the edge. Itten made it 3-2; Luis Díaz replied to make it 3-3; Rubén Vargas stepped up and sealed it. Switzerland through 4-3.
