Switzerland Beat Colombia on Penalties

Switzerland advanced to the World Cup quarter-finals for the first time since 1954 after prevailing 4-3 on penalties against Colombia in a tense, goalless last-16 match. The dramatic shootout ended with Colombian players on the ground as Swiss players celebrated their victory.

The Swiss team now faces a tall task as they will take on Lionel Messi and Argentina in Kansas City in four days' time. This marks Switzerland's first quarter-final appearance since 1954, when that stage was the first in the knockout round of a Swiss-hosted tournament featuring 16 teams. sportbet.reviews
