Switzerland v Colombia LIVE: Score and latest updates as World Cup underdogs clash in last 16 – UK Times

The first shot on target comes from Dan Ndoye, as the ball is laid off to him and his fizzes a half-volley too close to Vargas.

The offside flag was up anyway.

The first half-chance for Colombia as the ball is sent to the back post and Akanji is forced to turn it behind.

Some early possession for the Swiss, though it’s given away cheaply by Akanji.

Colombia have their first venture towards the Switzerland box but it comes to nothing.

We’re underway in Vancouver!

Both sides are out at BC Place, and we’ll be underway shortly after the national anthems.

Under 10 minutes until kick-off in the final last-16 tie at the 2026 World Cup.

We’ve had some classics in this round already…will we see another this evening?

The last-16 of the 2026 World Cup is delivering bucketloads of drama for fans to watch live on television.

Of course, you do have to factor in the time difference, with the kinder kick-off times including slots at 6pm BST and 8pm BST, while there are games throughout the night for UK viewers.

Here’s how you can watch every game at the 2026 World Cup on the BBC and ITV – and STV in Scotland.

The report from the biggest game of the day…

One of greatest ever knock-out upsets becomes one of the greatest ever comebacks. Egypt might call it one of the great injustices. Argentina, for now, won’t care.

This 3-2 victory over a spirited and justifiably aggrieved Egypt again exposed so many issues, but also so much fortitude – not least that of probably the greatest player of all time.

There’s an axiom in American politics that has formed the title of a bestselling book: “Everything Trump touches dies.”

There’s an argument that the 4-1 defeat to Belgium might actually have been the best thing for Fifa, given the crisis that was engulfing the body over the previous 36 hours, and that’s probably true in the short term. Belgium don’t have the incentive to pursue action in the same way as if Balogun had scored the winner in a US victory.
