England defeated Colombia 4-3 on penalties after the game finished 1-1 in a Round of 16 Russia 2018 match played in Spartak Stadium, Moscow.
Harry Kane opened scoring thro hipugh penalty only for Mina to equalise in stoppage time, 93rd minute.
Kane sends David Ospina the wrong way and puts England into the lead in Moscow. That is his tournament-leading sixth goal.
Kane is now England’s second all-time top scorer at the World Cup finals (Gary Lineker leads with 10), surpassing Geoff Hurst (5). He is also the second England player to score six in a single World Cup since Lineker in 1986.
The match later entered stoppage time at Spartak Stadium.
Then the incredible happened! Yerry Mina headed in the equaliser for Los Cafeteros at the death to keep their World Cup dream alive.
Trippier was on the goalline standing next to the post, but he was unable to clear Mina’s shot off the line.
Mina scores his third goal at Russia 2018, equalling the World Cup record for most goals by a defender in a single World Cup set by Germany’s Paul Breitner in 1974.
Mina: Colombia’s gold mine. Three games, three goals. Incredibly, that was Los Cafeteros’ first corner kick of the game.
The whole stadium erupted and got rid of all of the anxiety that was there before and started chanting “Colombia, Colombia, Colombia!”
Both teams looked for a late goal to avoid going to penalties. The second half of extra time, England created more chances but they have not had much luck.
Los Cafeteros have tried to spring quick transitions but they have not been able to find the decisive passes in the final third.
Then came the penalty. One goal leading to another and one loss le to another but finally Dier (England) successfully converts the penalty!
