Switzerland’s task becomes more difficult when Breel Embolo is sent off for diving in the 72nd minute, leaving the Swiss a man down for the remainder of regulation and the extra period. Despite the setback, Switzerland remain in the contest until late in extra time.
Argentina ultimately score again late in extra time to break the deadlock and secure a 3-1 victory. With the result, Argentina advance to the semi-finals, while Switzerland, who had reached the quarter-finals for the first time since 1954, exit the tournament following the defeat.
