Switzerland marched into the FIFA World Cup quarter-finals, beating Colombia 4-3 on penalties after the match ended in a goalless draw despite being taken to extra time at Vancouver on Tuesday. Switzerland has made it to the FIFA World Cup quarterfinal for the fourth time in its history, which has spanned 13 WC appearances. In the 21st century, they have finished in the round of 16 across four editions, including the last three. This marks their first-ever WC quarterfinal appearance since the 1954 edition. Now, they will be playing Argentina, the defending champions, who survived a scare against Egypt, in the final eight clash on July 12, 6:30 IST in Kansas City.
