MOSCOW (AP) – Even in the World Cup, a moment can completely change a match. This is reflected in how the round of 16 ended Wednesday. Sweden and Switzerland were well into the second half of a squeak game in which both sides of the defense seemed content to kick him out and head for penalties. Then, apparently out of nowhere, Emil Forsberg attempted a shot in a straight line of 20 meters, Manuel Akanji fired a foot to stop and deflected into the net. Sweden had a lead that she would not give up and a place in the quarterfinals.
England won the same 1-0 win over Colombia at the end of the game, eliminating a penalty from Harry Kane to give a shot. Then, Yerry Mina hoisted herself over the crowd and stuck her head in a corner kick deep in added time, and suddenly a Colombian victory began to seem inevitable. The momentum had turned in the other direction, and the miserable history of England in the shootings was returning to the spirit.
