Colombia loses to Switzerland in penalty shootout after scoreless draw

Colombia faced Switzerland on July 7 in Vancouver, where the match ended in a goalless draw after 120 minutes. The game proceeded to penalties, where Davinson Sánchez missed his attempt and Cucho Hernández's shot was saved, resulting in a 4-3 loss for Colombia in the shootout. The loss means Colombia will exit the tournament without matching its previous best performance from 2014, when it reached the quarterfinals. Despite multiple opportunities throughout the match, including a header off the crossbar from Jhon Lucumí, Colombia could not find the back of the net. Midfielder Jhon Arias expressed disappointment over the team's inability to secure a win.
