Switzerland beat Colombia on penalties to reach quarter-finals

Switzerland have now won two knockout games in the World Cup for the first time, having beaten Algeria in the last 32, and now have a chance to stop Lionel Messi and Argentina's run to back-to-back World Cup glory.

Murat Yakin's side have reached the last eight of the World Cup for the first time since 1954 and they will face reigning champions Argentina at Kansas City Stadium on Sunday, 12 July at 02:00 BST.

Campaz and Juan Quintero were lively off the bench but the former's missed chance late on in extra-time meant Colombia did not add to their tally of five total goals from 94 shots.
