Gracenote Live @ GracenoteLive
Most attempts at shooting at #WorldCup 2018 aimlessly:
13 – Marcus Berg – #SWE
12 – Emil Forsberg – #SWE
11 – Mathew Leckie – #AUSSwitzerland's Blerim Dzemaili also missed a golden opportunity when he dominated the bar when he was well positioned in the first period.
The second period was also contested, but Sweden made the breakthrough when Forsberg's shot hit Manuel Akanji and pbaded in front of goalkeeper Yann Sommer
Grant Wahl of Sports Illustrated proposed his point from the lens:

Switzerland insisted on equalization, but found it hard to go against an organized Swedish defense. They finished the match with 10 men while Michael Lang was sent off after a push on Michael Olsen, who was perfect.
The referee initially awarded a penalty to Sweden, but opted for a free kick at the box edge after a review by the video badistant referee.
Sweden has done just enough to win the game and move to the last eight World Cups for the first time since 1994.

Britain took advantage of the majority of possession in the first half, but found that it was difficult to get it. get specific opportunities.
The best opportunity of the Three Lions fell to Harry Kane but he could only lead Kieran Trippier's cross on the bar from a tight angle.
Tension began to manifest towards the end of a tight first half. Wilmar Barrios was a little lucky to escape a red card after pushing his head into Jordan Henderson's chest and then to his neck.
Alex Shaw at ESPN FC stated that he deserved to go:

Henderson did a good old meal of that, but that does not change the fact that it's a red card. What is going on? How can the referee not see it, then talk about it, then judge that a yellow?
The tension increased after the break when England won a penalty kick after Carlos Sanchez manhandled Kane in the box and cashed a penalty kick. The Tottenham Hotspur striker did not make a mistake on the pitch by scoring his sixth goal of the tournament.
Colombia threatened to lose all discipline after going behind, but managed to pull itself together and equalize.
Juan Cuadrado missed and Mateus Uribe forced goaltender Jordan Pickford to stop before Yerry Mina scored his third World Cup goal in stoppage time.
Both teams had two chances, but the stalemate could not be broken and the game went into penalties. Henderson was the first to miss, giving the advantage to Colombia, but Uribe also hit the crossbar to give hope to the Three Lions
Pickford has then saved Carlos Bacca, allowing Dier to be the hero. The Spurs midfielder turned the winning kick and eliminated Colombia from the tournament.
