Dier's winning kick also more than made up for his poor display during the match. He came on for Dele Alli in the 81st minute as England looked to protect their lead. However, that plan went out the window after Yerra Mina equalised in stoppage time with a powerful header from Colombia's first corner of the night.
In extra-time, England, who were the better side in normal time, looked rattled and some players began to tire, which was understandable after an exhausting 90-minutes and a long season.
Dier, however, just looked off the pace. He misplaced passes, struggled to cope with the physicality of the Colombians and missed a great chance when he headed over.
The Tottenham midfielder carried his form from England's previous match against Belgium into the game against Colombia and appears unlikely to start against Sweden on Saturday.
After he misplaced one pass, RTE commentator George Hamilton summed-up Dier's performance to that point, saying, "Dier by name, dire by nature."
