Switzerland Edges Colombia on Penalties

Switzerland defeated Colombia 4-3 on penalties in Vancouver, knocking the South American team out of the World Cup in the Round of 16 despite their unbeaten run.

Colombia played across all three host nations—Mexico, the United States, and Canada—but was eliminated in the Round of 16 of the 2026 World Cup in a disappointing early exit. wlop.pl

The match ended 0-0 after extra time, but Switzerland was more clinical from the penalty spot, winning 4-3. While the loss is not a total failure, it feels like a missed opportunity as Colombia remained unbeaten yet failed to demonstrate the quality leap expected of them.
