ENGLAND BEAT COLOMBIA ON PENALTIES TO REACH WORLD CUP QUARTER-FINALS

A dramatic game between England vs. Colombia rounds off the last 16 stage ahead of the quarter-finals on Friday and Saturday.

After a goalless first-half, Harry Kane opened the scoring from the spot bagging his sixth goal of the tournament.

Belgium's Romelu Lukaku has four goals to his name, just like Cristiano Ronaldo who has also chipped in with four goals. But, of course, Portugal have been eliminated from the World Cup.

However, deep into stoppage time, defender Yerry Mina rose highest to head home a late equaliser sending the game into extra time before eventually a penalty shootout.

ENGLAND SECURE VICTORY ON PENALTIES! 4-3 TO ENGLAND!
