Kane opened the scoring for England in the 57th minute by successfully converting a penalty after being fouled inside the box by Colombia's Carlos Sanchez.

It was the 24-year-old captain's sixth goal at the tournament, which extended his lead in the golden boot race.

Both sides made a few replacements after that, with Colombia desperate to find an equalizer. They succeeded in the stoppage time.

Yerry Mina's header after a Juan Cuadrado corner leveled the score for the Colombian side in the 93rd minute, bringing the game to extra time.

After a goalless 30-minute extra time, the two sides went into the penalty shootout, with Colombia's fourth kick hitting the crossbar and fifth one palmed away by England goalkeeper, while England successfully converted four penalties, with the third one saved by Colombia's David Ospina.

A total of 44,190 spectators attended the match at the 45,000-seat Spartak Stadium. It was also the last World Cup fixture at this stadium.
