Comments:

PENALTY SHOOT-OUT DETAILS (Switzerland went second) 1 - Marco Streller [saved] 2 - Tranquillo Barnetta [missed] 3 - Ricardo Cabanas [saved] This was the first time that a team had failed to score in a penalty shoot-out at the end of a World Cup finals game. In open play, they have not been awarded a penalty in their 26 World Cup finals matches. Switzerland also become the first-ever team to be eliminated from the World Cup finals without conceding a goal in the tournament.

PENALTY SHOOT-OUT DETAILS (Ukraine went first) 1 - Andriy Shevchenko [saved] 2 - Artem Milevskyy [scored] 3 - Sergei Rebrov [scored] 4 - Oleg Gusev [scored] In their first World Cup finals, Ukraine have now reached the quarter finals. Ukraine have become only the third country in World Cup history to reach the quarter-finals despite losing a group match by a margin of at least four goals. In 1954, West Germany claimed the title after having lost 8-3 to Hungary and Cameroon reached the quarter-finals in 1990 despite a 4-0 defeat against the Soviet Union. Ukraine have now kept a clean sheet in eight of their nine games in 2006.
