Argentina beat Switzerland after extra time to reach World Cup semis

Argentina defeated 10-man Switzerland 3-1 in extra time on Sunday to secure their passage to the semi-finals, with the defending champions ultimately prevailing after Mac Allister's early opening goal was cancelled out by the Nati's determined comeback. When Switzerland looked capable of dragging the defending champions to penalties, Julian Alvarez produced the decisive breakthrough in extra time before Lautaro Martinez drove the final nail into the coffin with a stoppage-time strike, sealing a 3-1 victory in Kansas City and keeping Lionel Messi's World Cup dream alive.

Fans of the South American team dominated the stands in Kansas City and were celebrating as early as the 10th minute when their hero Lionel Messi set up Alexis Mac Allister's opener. Switzerland levelled midway through the second half through Dan Ndoye but minutes later disaster struck when Embolo was sent off after picking up a second yellow card for simulation.
The match went to extra-time and Switzerland snuffed out wave after wave of attacks until Alvarez curled a breathtaking strike into the top corner in the 112th minute. Lautaro Martinez added gloss with a late third.Sunday's game was another attritional affair against a Swiss team seeking to reach the World Cup semi-finals for the first time.But Argentina finally broke Switzerland's brave resistance with Alvarez's moment of magic, which was celebrated by the whole squad, who were on the pitch again minutes later following Martinez's strike.
