After a grueling 120 minutes of tense, physical football ended in a 0-0 stalemate, Kobel stepped up as the ultimate hero in the penalty shootout, guiding Switzerland to a 4-3 penalty shootout victory and earning FIFA’s official Player of the Match honors.In a nerve-wracking shootout, Kobel guessed correctly and stopped a crucial penalty kick from Colombia’s fourth shooter, Cucho Hernández. His save ultimately paved the way for Switzerland to advance after Colombia’s Davinson Sánchez also hit the crossbar and Switzerland’s former BVB teammate Manuel Akanji sent his own shot over the bar. Kobel made 3 official saves during play to keep Switzerland in the game. His finest moment came during extra time when he managed to get his fingertips to a dangerous Jhon Lucumí header, redirecting it onto the crossbar.Following the match, an emotional Kobel told Swiss media:”From a sporting perspective, this is definitely the best day of my life… It was a huge moment for me! Seeing the lads push each other on. The emotions that came out of it. That’s unique.” With his heroics against Colombia, the 28-year-old Borussia Dortmund goalkeeper officially cemented his status as Switzerland’s World Cup hero.Rating: 10/10AdvertisementAdvertisementAdvertisementJulian Ryerson (DEF), NorwayMinutes played: 60Accurate passes: 11/12Chances created: 2Accurate crosses: 3Tackles: 4Clearences: 4Performance: The Dortmund right-back, had the difficult task of managing England’s dangerous left side, primarily matching up against Anthony Gordon. He registered 4 tackles and 4 clearances (joint-most defensive contributions with 8) during his time on the pitch, fighting relentlessly in the sweltering Miami heat. Ryerson’s nagging injuries persisted. In the 60th minute, he went down in pain and was unable to continue. He had to be substituted for Fredrik Aursnes after appearing to aggravate a recurring thigh injury—an issue that had previously kept him out of two group-stage matches earlier in the tournament.Norway was leading 1-0 thanks to an incredible first-half strike from Andreas Schjelderup when Ryerson was forced off. Shortly after his departure, Jude Bellingham equalized for England, eventually going on to score the winner in extra time.Following the match, medical updates indicate that Ryerson is expected to be sidelined for at least three weeks with a recurring right thigh and calf issue, raising some concerns for his upcoming pre-season preparation for BVB.Rating: 7/10Gregor Kobel (GK), S
