Switzerland have knocked Colombia out of the World Cup after a cagey last-16 tie was decided by a penalty shootout. It was a tight, cagey affair in Vancouver as two sides renowned for their defensive prowess locked horns. Chances, unsurprisingly, were few and far between, though both goalkeepers came up with a string of important saves to keep their sides in contention. Both Gregor Kobel and Camilo Vargas made key stops in an even cagier period of extra-time, which ensured the match would be decided by spot-kicks.
