英格兰打破点球大战魔咒，淘汰哥伦比亚晋级八强

England won a World Cup penalty shootout for the first time on a night of high drama in Moscow, overcoming Colombia to secure a quarter-final meeting with Sweden.

7月4日凌晨2018年俄罗斯世界杯1/8决赛，英格兰世界杯队史上首次赢得点球大战，淘汰哥伦比亚，1/4决赛将对阵瑞典。

Amid a fevered atmosphere inside Spartak Stadium, Eric Dier scored the winning kick after Jordan Pickford’s brilliant save from Carlos Bacca.

斯巴达球场球迷的狂热席卷整全场之际，英格兰门将皮克福德扑出哥伦比亚队巴卡的点球，接着埃里克·迪尔为英格兰打入了制胜的一颗点球。

England’s famous victory sets up a meeting with Sweden in Samara on Saturday.

英格兰这场伟大胜利为周六在萨马拉与瑞典对阵奠定了基础。

Manager Gareth Southgate celebrated with his staff while his players mobbed the heroes Pickford and Dier after their first win at the knockout stage of major tournament since 2006.

他们取得了自2006年以来大赛淘汰赛阶段的首场胜利，主教练加雷斯·索斯盖特与队员们一同庆祝，并与皮克福德和迪尔激动簇拥。

Southgate’s side looked to have emerged unscathed from an ill-disciplined match courtesy of Harry Kane’s penalty, only for Colombia’s Yerry Mina to equalise in the closing seconds of stoppage time to send the massed ranks of Colombia fans wild.

哈利·凯恩罚进一颗自己制造的点球，但此举并未给英格兰队带来较大影响，哥伦比亚的耶里·米娜在补时阶段的最后几秒扳回一球，此刻哥伦比亚球迷全场沸腾了。

The extra 30 minutes could not separate the sides and led to a nerve-shredding finale that has so often been England’s undoing, with a dismal record of just one win in seven shootouts at major tournaments before this.

双方在30分钟的加时赛中均未能将比分继续拉大，比赛只能进入牵人心弦的点球大战。在此之前的大赛中，英格兰在7场点球大战中只有1场获胜，成为他们的魔咒。

England looked to be set for more agony when Jordan Henderson’s penalty was saved by David Ospina but Mateus Uribe smashed the following kick on to the crossbar to pave the way for Pickford and Dier to be England’s saviours.

随着亨德森的点球被哥伦比亚门将奥斯宾纳扑出，英格兰已经命悬一线，但随后哥伦比亚队乌里韦的点球击中横梁，为皮克福德和迪尔成为英格兰的救世主铺平了道路。

No previous world champions stand between England and the final. The winners of their quarter-final will face either Croatia or hosts Russia for a place in the Moscow showpiece on 15 July.

英格兰在先前的世界杯大赛中均未能冲进决赛，荣获冠军桂冠。在下一场英格兰对阵瑞典的四分之一决赛中，获胜的球队将与克罗地亚或者东道主俄罗斯争夺决赛资格。世界杯决赛将于7月15日在莫斯科举行。
