Switzerland will meet Sweden in the last 16 of the World Cup as they secured safe passage from Group E.

While Costa Rica were already out having lost their opening two matches, they were the better side in Nizhny Novgorod and were good value for their 2-2 draw.

Swiss keeper Yann Sommer made a superb stop from Celso Borges’ header before Daniel Colindres went close for Costa Rica as the Europeans struggled to contain a lively front three in the early stages. Colindres then hit the crossbar with a long-range effort.
