Harry Kane had put England into the lead shortly after half-time from the penalty spot after the striker was fouled by defender Carlos Sanchez, with the captain brushing himself down to score his sixth goal of the tournament to remain top goalscorer.
But Colombia displayed their incredible resilience to score in the 93rd minute through a well-executed header through defender Yelly Mina, sending the game to extra-time with the scores locked at 1-1.
With no splitting the teams after 30 additional minutes, the game headed to penalties with England slipping behind when Jordan Henderson's effort was saved. However, Mateus Uribe rattled his effort off the crossbar before goalkeeper Jordan Pickford saved from Carlos Bacca, setting up Eric Dier to score the match-winning penalty and send England through to a quarter-final against Sweden. Here's how the action unfolded.

Odds:
Colombia: 3/1
England: 23/20
Draw after 90 minutes: 2/1
Prediction:
Colombia 1-1 England (England win on penalties). It’s pretty unlikely, because England don’t win shootouts, but Germany don’t go out at the group stage so who knows?
11 mins: Colombia have a corner, but Mina and Sanchez get in each others way and the header goes wide.
Young OFF, Rose ON for England
ET 14 mins: England need a half-time to regroup and start to believe again, because at the moment Colombia are by far the better side
ET HALF TIME: Colombia 1-1 England
It's all square, and we will go into the second half of extra time...Colombia on top.
ET SECOND HALF: England get us underway for the final time. A victor here or we are on our way to a dreaded penalty shootout
ET 18 mins: A better start to this period from England, who have a chance through Jamie Vardy, but it's leaving spaces open at the back for Colombia to capitalise upon. Anything could happen here, it's wide open.

22 mins: DANNY ROSE INCHES AWAY! His left footed effort flashes across the face of goal after a beautiful through ball from Jordan Henderson.
Kyle Walker OFF, Danny Rose ON
Harry Kane really isn't moving well. He's playing almost as a number 10 now, with Vardy and Lingard ahead of him. Southgate clearly won't take off his best penalty taker.
