The keeper pushed away Hernandez's spot kick after centre-backs from both sides had earlier missed. Colombia's Davinson Sanchez rattled the underside of the bar but former Manchester City defender Manuel Akanji skied his spot-kick to restore the balance. But Kobel's stop from Hernandez was impressive before Cedric Itten and Ruben Vargas scored to add to earlier successful penalties taken by Granit Xhaka and Zeki Amdouni as Switzerland won the shootout 4-3 in the last-16 tie at BC Place Vancouver. Murat Yakin's side have reached the last eight of the World Cup for the first time since 1954 and will face reigning champions Argentina at Kansas City Stadium on Sunday, 12 July at 02:00 BST. Extra time and the penalty shootout followed a rather uneventful 90 minutes in which both sides struggled to create many great chances. Jhon Lucumi went close for Colombia but his header from a corner struck the crossbar, before a long-range effort from substitute Jaminton Campaz forced an unorthodox save from the Swiss keeper as the game threatened to burst into life in the first half of extra time. Colombia should have won it late in extra time but Campaz curled a shot over after a defensive mistake from Xhaka. It was a miss they would live to regret as the South Americans suffered shootout heartbreak again after losing to England in 2018 on spot-kicks at this stage.

The reigning world champions - sent to extra time by Cape Verde in the last round - had looked set for a shock exit against the Pharaohs, who led 2-0 thanks to goals from Yasser Ibrahim and Mostafa Zico. But Cristian Romero halved the deficit 11 minutes from time before Lionel Messi – who had missed a first-half penalty – equalised five minutes later and set up a nail-biting finish. Enzo Fernandez completed the comeback two minutes into injury time, heading home Lautaro Martinez's cross to set up a quarter-final tie against Switzerland. The winner came on the counter-attack just moments after Egypt felt they had been denied a penalty for a trip on Mohamed Salah, to the fury of many on their bench. It was impossible not to feel for Egypt, who had not won a World Cup match prior to this tournament but were minutes away from eliminating the three-time winners in Atlanta.

It was a largely lethargic display by the US who had star striker Folarin Balogun in their starting line-up after President Donald Trump had asked Fifa to review his ban following his red card in the previous round. Fifa responded by suspending the automatic one-match ban for 12 months but their leading scorer at the tournament, with three goals, was largely isolated as Belgium dominated the game. They took the lead in the ninth minute when Nicolas Raskin's pass across the face of goal was tapped in by De Ketlaere. The home side levelled in the 31st minute when Malik Tillman's free-kick took a wicked deflection off Belgium's Hans Vanaken. But the European side restored their lead two minutes later when De Ketelaere headed in Leandro Trossard's cross. In the second half they were gifted a third when De Ketelaere tackled hesitant US keeper Matt Freese and Vanaken side-footed the ball into the bottom corner from outside the penalty area. And in the 93rd minute substitute Romelu Lukaku slotted in Belgium's fourth with a low shot into the far corner from a tight angle. It means it will be Belgium will face Spain in the last eight in Los Angeles on Friday (20:00 BST) after the European champions beat Portugal 1-0 on Monday.

Spain had failed to create clear-cut openings in a poor second half before Ferran Torres played in the Arsenal midfielder, who slotted low past goalkeeper Diogo Costa in the 91st minute. The 1-0 result was a repeat of their meeting at the same stage in 2010 and sets up a quarter-final tie with either co-hosts United States or Belgium in Los Angeles on Friday, 10 July (20:00 BST). Portugal's defeat also ends 41-year-old Ronaldo's World Cup career after the superstar confirmed this tournament would be his last. Spain squandered a gilt-edged chance after just three minutes as Dani Olmo's pass helped Mikel Oyarzabal get behind the defence, but the Real Sociedad striker dragged his effort wide. Costa then produced a double save to deny Spanish duo Lamine Yamal and Alex Baena in quick succession as La Roja probed for an opener, but it was Portugal who went closest next. Spain were saved by the woodwork in the 41st minute as Nuno Mendes' venomous left-foot strike took a deflection off Pedro Porro and rattled the crossbar. However, the game remained goalless at the break. Roberto Martinez's side continued to grow into the game after the break, though Ronaldo cut a frustrated figure up front in a second half that produced little in the way of action in the final third. Bruno Fernandes hit the side-netting in the 76th minute, while at the other end Olmo's shot from inside the box was blocked by a brave Ruben Dias before the two Spain substitutes combined to produce the match-winning moment.

On a night of sheer sporting theatre, with the game delayed by an hour because of severe storms, Thomas Tuchel's side even survived Jarell Quansah's red card early in the second half to record one of their finest wins in recent years. Mexico had lost only two of 89 competitive games at their Azteca fortress, but England's cool approach early on allowed them to take command when the outstanding Jude Bellingham scored twice in the space of 98 seconds before half-time. England goalkeeper Jordan Pickford was in superb form, twice saving brilliantly from Raul Jimenez, but he was powerless to stop Julian Quinones pulling a goal back for Mexico with a powerful finish three minutes before the break. Mexico were being driven forward by a constant cacophony of sound, which increased when Quansah was sent off for a high challenge on Jesus Gallardo, but England restored their two-goal lead when Harry Kane scored from the spot after Anthony Gordon was brought down by keeper Raul Rangel. Just when England thought they had restored order, Kane was the culprit when he kicked Brian Gutierrez's foot in the area, Jimenez scoring the resulting spot-kick. With England under pressure and in frantic atmosphere, Tuchel brought on Dan Burn and Djed Spence, reverting to a five-man defence to see out 11 minutes of stoppage time for a superb win.
