Cedric Itten of Switzerland scores the fourth penalty in a penalty shootout during the Fifa World Cup 2026 Round of 16 match between Switzerland and Colombia in Vancouver, Canada.

Switzerland beat Colombia 4-3 on penalties after a goalless draw on Tuesday to set up a Fifa World Cup quarter-final with defending champions Argentina.

The two teams cancelled each other out in the final game of the last 16 -- the game in Vancouver was also the last at the 2026 tournament to be played outside the United States.

Colombia's Davinson Sanchez hit the bar in a nerve-wracking shootout but Switzerland defender Manuel Akanji ballooned his effort over, meaning it was all square again.

Swiss goalkeeper Gregor Kobel then regained the initiative for his team, brilliantly saving Cucho Hernandez's effort.
