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.
