VANCOUVER: Switzerland goalkeeper Gregor Kobel praised his side’s “incredible, incredible achievement” after their 4-3 penalty shoot-out win over Colombia in Vancouver on Tuesday took them into the World Cup quarter-finals for the first time in 72 years. The Borussia Dortmund goalkeeper, playing at his first World Cup, kept out Cucho Hernandez’s spot-kick with a stunning save to his right to take the Swiss into a meeting with defending champions Argentina after three straight exits in the last 16. “I don’t think you can overstate what a huge achievement this is for us, for this team, for Switzerland,” said Kobel. “For such a small country to be among the top eight teams in the world in the biggest sport on the planet is unbelievable. “I’m incredibly happy for every individual, for the supporters, for everyone who gets to experience a moment like this. “And when I think about all the lads who’ve been part of this team for years, and all the people who are here today, it’s impossible to put into words. “You can’t praise it highly enough. It’s an amazing feeling and an incredible, incredible achievement.”

GENEVA: Far from the World Cup spotlight, the Champions League has restarted with Shamrock Rovers defender Roberto ‘Pico’ Lopes unable to play because of his memorable tournament run with Cape Verde. In 10 games played Tuesday in the Champions League first qualifying round, the first goal of the season was scored in Gibraltar by a player even older than Cristiano Ronaldo — 41-year-old Nano, the left back for Lincoln Red Imps. Lopes returned to Dublin on Monday three days after Cape Verde thrilled the World Cup by pushing defending champion Argentina and Lionel Messi to the limit in a 3-2 loss in the round of 32 at Miami Gardens. Shamrock, where the 34-year-old Lopes has played since 2016, lost 2-0 to Floriana in the first leg in Malta. “I’ll miss the game in Malta, unfortunately,” Lopes had told reporters at Dublin airport, “but I’m looking forward to getting back into training and getting back to doing what I love.” Rovers host the second leg next Tuesday. Champions League in soccer outposts Champions League action played out Tuesday in a swath of soccer nations that never qualified for a World Cup — Gibraltar, San Marino, Faroe Islands — and one which did, Bosnia-Herzegovina. Bosnian champion Borac Banja Luka drew their first leg at home, 1-1 against Levski Sofia, though without their only player who went to the World Cup, 18-year-old goalkeeper Mladen Jurkas. In Gibraltar, Lincoln opened the competition’s scoring with a 16th-minute penalty by Nano in a 3-1 win over Inter Club d’Escaldes of Andorra.
