England have defeated Colombia on penalties in the World Cup to advance to the quarterfinals.

The Tuesday evening match at Spartak Stadium saw England take the lead in the second half when Colombian defender Carlos Sanchez made his second error of the tournament which prompted the referee to award a penalty kick to the opponent.
