Argentina reach the World Cup semi-finals after defeating 10-man Switzerland 3-1 in a match that goes to extra time. Multiple outlets report that Switzerland stay in contention until the later stages, including during extra time, before Argentina score the decisive goals. Julian Alvarez provides the defining moment, scoring an extra-time strike in the 112th minute to put Argentina ahead. After Switzerland are reduced to 10 men following a second yellow-card dismissal for Breel Embolo, Argentina hold their pressure through a prolonged spell where Switzerland continue to repel attacks. Switzerland had opened the scoring after Dan Ndoye equalises mid-way through the second half. Lionel Messi and Argentina also contribute to the build-up to the early breakthrough, with Alexis Mac Allister reported as scoring first for Argentina. Lautaro Martinez then adds a late third goal to seal the 3-1 result. The win sets up a semi-final against England, described by several outlets as a high-profile matchup.
