Allows three against Argentina
Kobel recorded four saves and allowed three goals in Saturday's 3-1 defeat against Argentina.
Analysis: Kobel had a solid match for Switzerland with his four saves, but was unable to keep the clean sheet, allowing an early 10th-minute goal that was followed by two more goals in extra time. This comes after consecutive clean sheets throughout the knockout stage, with those his only two clean sheets of the tournament. He would also record six goals allowed and 20 saves in his six appearances.
Brilliant against Colombia
Kobel made three saves and allowed zero goals in Tuesday's 0-0 (4-3) penalty shootout win against Colombia.
Analysis: Kobel denied the opposition some big opportunities throughout the game, and he also stopped Cucho Hernandez's shootout penalty kick, leading Switzerland to a historic quarter-finals qualification. The goalkeeper has been solid across five appearances at the international competition, allowing only three goals and keeping his goal unbeaten in each of the two knockout contests so far. Up next he'll face Argentina's powerful offense, which has scored three goals in three straight games.
