Switzerland and Colombia failed to break the deadlock after 105 minutes of play in their Round of 16 match at the FIFA World Cup in Vancouver on Tuesday.
With just 15 minutes to go, the prospect of a penalty shootout loomed to decide which team would progress to the quarter-finals to play Argentina.
Gregor Kobel made three saves to keep Colombia at bay and level with Switzerland at 0-0. The custodian remained on the edge for a long time, as Yan Sommer was the first-choice goalkeeper for a long time.
However, he could be called into action for the first time in a firefight. During his career, Kobel was awarded 57 penalties, 10 of which he saved.
