After 45 minutes, Switzerland and Colombia remain deadlocked at 0-0 in the final round of 16 clash of the 2026 World Cup.

The match has seen both sides trade chances. Possession has been split evenly at 50%-50%, and shots on target are close: 2 for the Swiss, 1 for Los Cafeteros. Switzerland came closest to breaking the deadlock in the 30th minute: Rieder capitalized on a Munoz error, but Vargas pulled off a brilliant save. Kobel was also sharp in the 21st minute, denying a well-placed effort from Puerta.

On the Colombian side, Luis Díaz and Luis Suárez tried their luck, but the Swiss defense stood firm. The tempo has been high and the spaces tight, leaving the halftime verdict: a cagey but electrifying contest. Now it’s time for the second half to decide who clinches a spot to face Argentina in the quarterfinals.
