Head-to-head record

Colombia beat Switzerland 2-0 in the group stage of the FIFA World Cup 1994 - one of two wins for Los Cafeteros in four meetings with Die Nati down the years. The South American side also won 3-1 in a friendly in March 2007, with Switzerland’s only victory (3-2) coming in a friendly 16 years earlier.

How they got here: Colombia

Luis Díaz was on target as Colombia began their campaign with a 3-1 victory over Uzbekistan, before a 1-0 win against DR Congo and a goalless draw with Portugal confirmed their place in the round of 32 as Group K winners. Los Cafeteros then defeated Ghana 1-0 to edge into the round of 16.

How they got here: Switzerland

Had it not been for a stoppage-time own goal by Miro Muheim in their Group B opener, Switzerland would be heading into the round of 16 with a 100 percent record. Murat Yakin’s team recovered from that 1-1 draw against Qatar with wins over Bosnia and Herzegovina (4-1) and co-hosts Canada (2-1) before easing to a 2-0 victory over Algeria in the round of 32.
