After a goalless, and at times weak, round-of-16 match, penalties had to decide the game.
There, the Swiss kept their nerves best under control and were able to secure Switzerland's biggest football success in 72 years. The last time Switzerland reached the quarter-finals of a World Cup was in 1954 on home soil.
Switzerland scored four of five penalties, while Swiss goalkeeper Gregor Kobel made a really good save on Juan Hernandez's penalty in the fourth round of the shootout.
"It's clear that something is missing," Colombia's Jhon Arias said, according to the AP, adding that he hopes "we will find what it is that is still missing."
For Colombia, the World Cup finals ended in exactly the same way as in 2018. Then they were eliminated in the round of 16, also on penalties, against England.
In the quarter-finals, Switzerland will face reigning world champions Argentina.
