National Newspaper – England beat Colombia and qualified for the quarter-finals, but it was not easy

The World Cup in Russia had another day of suspenseful support, goal in added time and decision on penalties. It was the last match of the last 16.

England, top scorer Harry Kane, sent Colombia home. But it was not easy.

They have an exaggerated reaction after the aggression of the adversary – at the head of Barrios, Henderson showed the worst of English theater

In tough times, England does exactly what she criticizes in others. The difference is that you lack inspiration, it's a sweating team. The greatest Colombian talent was injured, disguised in the stands. Without James Rodriguez on the ground, the South Americans were barely able to create.

Carlos Sanchez was another who did not surprise. As in the Copa Colombia debut, he was penalized – the World Cup scorer does not spoil his chances.

Harry Kane's sixth goal in the Coupe, third on penalties. England controlled the rankings until Uribe risked by far. In scoring, goalkeeper Ospina took the air, but Colombia's goal is 1.94m. Third goal of his head in this Cup, Mina, at 48 of the second half. The tie has given Colombia some extra time.

The overall goal went slowly to England, which dominated the second overtime period, but the chances created gave nothing and the vacant place had to be decided with penalties.

Collectors began to perfect themselves until Ospina defended Henderson's rhythm. Jose Pekerman did not seem to want to see what awaited him: Uribe and Bacca wereted two charges. The other side was no longer missing and Dier gave the ranking to England.

Not that the English wanted so much to suffer, but the same night they shocked two ghosts of the past: they qualified for the World Cup quarter-finals after 12 years and won a penalty shot for the first time in the history of the World Cup

Harry Kane said it was a night of ups and downs that he knew England did not have. Did not have a big story in the penalties and that was great to get rid of that weight.

The English hurricane, the top scorer of the Cup, is still alive, while James Rodriguez, the top scorer of the last World Cup, says goodbye alone, feet bound. Nothing can be sadder for a player.
