Vargas sends Switzerland to World Cup quarterfinals in shootout win over Colombia
VANCOUVER, British Colombia -- Ruben Vargas converted his penalty and Switzerland advanced to the World Cup quarterfinals with a 4-3 penalty shootout win over Colombia after a scoreless draw on Tuesday.
Switzerland will next face defending champion Argentina on Saturday at Arrowhead Stadium in Kansas City, Missouri.
Argentina defeated Egypt 3-2 earlier in the day.
Switzerland had not reached the quarterfinals of a World Cup since hosting the tournament in 1954.
And the Swiss were shorthanded Tuesday without young midfielder Johan Manzambi, who was injured in training on Monday.
