Switzerland cruises into knockout round with Costa Rica draw

Switzerland has cruised into the knockout phase despite some late drama in a 2-2 draw with Costa Rica, setting up a round of 16 encounter with Sweden.

With the scores locked at 1-1, Switzerland's Josip Drmic looked to have given his team victory after pushing home in the 88th minute.

But his teammate Denis Zakaria fouled Costa Rica's Joel Campbell in the box four minutes later to give away a penalty, and Bryan Ruiz's shot rebounded off Swiss goalkeeper Yann Sommer into the net to end the match at 2-2.

More to come.
