Argentina Outlast Switzerland in Extra Time, Book England Semi-Final Clash

The Albiceleste secured their place in the final four thanks to a moment of brilliance from Julian Alvarez in the 112th minute. Switzerland, reduced to ten men, had mounted a spirited defense, frustrating Argentina's attacking efforts for much of the match and forcing the tie beyond regulation time.

Alvarez's stunning strike, a curling effort into the top corner, ultimately broke the deadlock and proved decisive. The goal came after waves of Argentinian pressure that the Swiss defense, despite their numerical disadvantage, had largely repelled until that point.
