Vancouver: Switzerland sealed the final quarter-final spot at the 2026 World Cup, beating Colombia 4-3 on penalties after a goalless draw in their round-of-16 tie at Vancouver Stadium in Canada. According to Oman News Agency, the match finished 0-0 after regulation and extra time, with both sides spurning chances while defensive discipline largely prevailed. The Swiss held their nerve from the spot, converting four penalties to Colombia's three. Switzerland will now face Argentina in the last eight. With Switzerland's progression, the quarter-final line-up is complete: France, Belgium, Argentina, Morocco, England, Norway, Spain, and Switzerland. FIFA statistics showed the goalless draw meant Argentina's Enzo Fernández remained the scorer of the 3,000th goal in World Cup history, as no player from Switzerland or Colombia found the net after that milestone.
