Argentina vs. Switzerland Highlights: Argentina Seals Semis Spot In Extra Time

Argentina is through to the semifinals at the 2026 FIFA World Cup, but it had to do it the hard way, needing extra time to get past Switzerland in a 3-1 win. 

Julián Alvarez delivered the big moment in the 112th minute, curling a stunning winner into the back of the net after Lionel Messi was held scoreless for the first time at this World Cup.

Heartbreak for Switzerland, which got itself back into the game through Dan Ndoye before Breel Embolo’s second yellow completely changed the match. Switzerland defended for its life with 10 men, but Alvarez’s moment of magic and Lautaro Martínez’s late goal on the counter sealed it. Argentina now moves on to a mouthwatering semifinal against England in Atlanta on Wednesday, July 15.
