Here's all you need to know from day 27 at the World Cup with Flashscore's daily highlights.
The headlines
After a game with little drama that ended goalless, Switzerland and Colombia went to penalties, where the Swiss won their first-ever shootout at a World Cup, defeating the South Americans 4-3 on spot-kicks.
Surprisingly, two centre-backs stepped early in the shootout, with both missing. Davinson Sanchez crashed his off the underside of the bar for Colombia, whilst Manuel Akanji skied his into the stands.
But, much to Akanji's relief, Gregor Kobel stood tall to save Cucho Hernandez's spot-kick, allowing Ruben Vargas to end the nervy affair.
It was a mixed day for James Rodriguez. He became Colombia's leading appearance maker, overtaking unused substitute and former brother-in-law, David Ospina, with 131 caps. But he heads home with another early exit at the World Cup on his CV.
The Swiss will take on Argentina in the quarter-finals, after they played out a 3-2 thriller against Egypt - a game that wasn't short of controversy.
The Pharaohs took a two-goal lead into the final thanks to a 15th-minute strike from Yasser Ibrahim and a beautiful counter-attacking move finished off by Mostafa Ziko.
It could have been even better for the African side. Before his goal, Ziko had already had the ball in the back of the net - again from a flowing counter attack - but VAR contentiously intervened for a foul that happened at the start of the move and nearly 100 yards from the Argentina goal.
With their World Cup hopes hanging by a thread, the Argentines rallied late. Cristian Romero pulled one back 11 minutes before time, before they broke the Egyptian siege through reliable Lionel Messi. The star man had seen a penalty saved earlier in the game, but more than made amends with a driving left-footed half volley in the 83rd minute.
Both teams went for the winner in stoppage time, but it was the reigning champions who came out on top thanks to a marvellous header from Enzo Fernandez.
The Egypt manager was furious with the officiating after the game, calling the result unjust, saying: "What happened to us wasn't fair. We should have had a penalty, a goal was disallowed, and I don't know why it was disallowed."
His opposite number, Lionel Scaloni, was overcome with emotion following the win, and he now stands just three games from an incredible slice of history. It's also their second 3-2 win over African opposition at this World Cup after beating Cape Verde after extra time in the previous round.
His side will be back on the pitch on July 11th in Kansas City to face Switzerland.
Goal of the day
He may be in the latter stages of his career, but Messi still brings it to football's biggest stage. After eternal 'rival' Cristiano Ronaldo exited the tournament on Monday with a whimper, Messi kept his country in the tournament with a superb finish.
Chaos ensued in the Egyptian box, but Messi stayed calm, and as he has done for so many years, he arrived at the right place at the right time to fire home, despite the congestion.
He may have missed a penalty, but he dusted himself down to extend his record of World Cup goals, whilst continuing his run of World Cup games with a goal to eight. He also still leads the Golden Boot race. Not bad for a 39-year-old.
The emotion in the celebration also showed just what it means to him. After all that he has won in his career, he is still in love with the beautiful game.
Player of the day
What else can we say about Messi? His rating of 9.2, according to our player ratings, was the best of the day, and it could have been even higher had he scored his penalty.
Despite another consummate performance, his record on spot-kicks will be a concern. At World Cups, he has a 50% record, scoring four and missing four. A small sliver of kryptonite in his armoury.
Despite this, he was on song against Egypt.
He may not be the most energetic player anymore, but he still had the most touches in the opposition box - 12 - and the most shots of anyone in the game. Give him that many opportunities, he will punish you.
He was also involved in the most duels, unsurprisingly, as he is the team's creative outlet.
Best from social media
This is the longest World Cup we have ever seen, running a total of 39 days from start to finish.
That means a lot of downtime for squads as they move through the tournament, with plenty of side games being invented to keep the players amused.
England's media team set a cup on a cone, whilst the French are playing football tennis, much to the disdain of manager-turned-referee, Didier Deschamps.
