England qualified for the quarter-finals after removing Colombia through a penalty shootout. Both countries drew 1-1 for 90 minutes of normal time plus 30 minutes of extra round. On penalties, England won 4-3 with the success of goalkeeper Jordan Pickford holding off Carlos Bacca's shot and Mateus Uribe's execution hit the post.

As for England, it brought them closer to a long wait since becoming 1966 world champion. In 1990, their move was only to the semi-finals and had to settle for fourth place.
