Eric Dier scored the decisive shot -1 draw.

England will face Sweden in the quarterfinals Saturday in Samara. It's England that has progressed in all tournaments since the time of David Beckham, where a golden generation of players left the World Cups of 2002 and 2006 over the past eight years.

England took the lead on the penalty spot in the 57th minute. Yerry Mina tied in the third minute of stoppage time.

England was shooting from behind 3-2 in shooting after Jordan Henderson's shot, but Mateus Uribe hit the bar and goalkeeper Jordan Pickford then saved Carlos Bacca's kick. ] ___
