Colombia mourns its farewell to Russia 2018 after losing to England in the definition by penalties

Without James Rodriguez, absent due to injury, those led by José Pékerman dreamed of the classification when Yerry Mina achieved an agonizing draw in injury time that forced the extra time.

But he could not take advantage of that momentum in extra time and in the shootout from the eleven steps was eliminated by the failures of Matheus Uribe, who sent the ball to the crossbar, and Carlos Bacca, whose shot stopped goalkeeper Jordan Pickford.

Colombian goalkeeper David Ospina had managed a great save on Jordan Henderson's shot, but he could not prevent England from winning his first penalty shoot-out in a World Cup.

It was a match fought, with each team using their weapons, which heated up with the passage of minutes. US referee Mark Geiger ended up overwhelmed, with problems to control the continuous infractions and interruptions of the match.

In one of them was the penalty that Carlos Sanchez committed on Harry Kane and ended up becoming the captain of England. It was the sixth goal of the "Hurricane" of Tottenham that was consolidated as the World Cup's top scorer.

From there England was closer to the second goal than Colombia of the tie, but their chances were disappearing and with the passing of the minutes it was the South American team that ended up approaching the opposing area.
