Two of the tournament's tighter defenses produced exactly what you'd expect: nothing, on the scoreboard at least. The underlying numbers actually favor Colombia slightly, even in a shootout loss — their central pocket, just 22% of their attacking output, generated the match's single biggest xG cluster (0.99, from 13 shots), more threat than Switzerland managed from anywhere on the pitch. Switzerland leaned heavily on their left flank (60% of attacks) without ever turning it into danger. Neither side could finish what they started, which is exactly how a 0–0 after 120 minutes happens. Switzerland held their nerve in the shootout, winning 4–3 to advance. Not a classic, but a genuine test of composure that Switzerland passed and Colombia didn't.
