In the last match of the Round of 16, there were no goals for 120 minutes. The regular time and extra time between Switzerland and Colombia ended in a 0-0 draw at the BC Place stadium in Canada, in the 2026 FIFA World Cup. Switzerland won the match on penalty kicks 4-3.

The match was balanced. Neither team was more dangerous or better during the game. Both teams tried to avoid going to penalty kicks, but all their attempts did not work. This became the eighth goalless draw in the tournament.

With this result, Switzerland goes through to the quarter-finals to face Argentina next Sunday at the Arrowhead Stadium in Kansas City, USA.
