World Cup 2026: Switzerland advances to the quarter-finals after having
Switzerland triumphs on penalties against Colombia and qualifies for the quarter-finals of the World Cup, an achievement that has been awaited for over 70 years.
Switzerland's fifth penalty taker, Ruben Vargas, scored the decisive penalty, while the Colombian team faced disappointment: Davinson Sanchez saw his shot hit the crossbar, while Swiss goalkeeper Gregor Kobel saved Cucho Hernández's penalty. This opened the way for Vargas, who scored the winning penalty.
Ahead of the quarter-finals, Switzerland will face Argentina, a team already known for its exploits in the tournament. In the previous match, Argentina made an incredible comeback, beating Egypt 3-2 after overturning a 2-0 deficit in the last 15 minutes of the game. Before this edition, Switzerland had participated in nine World Cups, but its last appearance in the quarter-finals dates back to 72 years ago, when in 1954 it was defeated by Austria with a score of 7-5.
The match against Colombia was characterized by an absence of real scoring opportunities during the 90 minutes of regulation, with both teams showing difficulty in converting their few opportunities. Colombia, one of the most promising teams of the tournament, had dominated Group K, but proved inefficient in front of goal, while Switzerland struggled to find the right rhythm.
In extra time, both teams had important chances: a mistake by Granit
Switzerland returns to being a protagonist at the highest levels of international football, and its wait for a return to the top eight teams in the world is finally over. The quarter-finals will take place in the next few days, with Switzerland having the opportunity to write a new page in its football history against Argentina.
