Julián Álvarez sent defending champion Argentina back to the World Cup semifinals with a long-range strike in the 112th minute against Switzerland, while another goal by Lautaro Martínez with seconds left in extra time made the 3-1 victory look a whole lot easier than it was. Alexis Mac Allister opened the scoring off a corner kick from Lionel Messi in the 10th minute, helping La Albiceleste gut out another down-to-the-wire thriller. The Swiss had just tied the game on Dan Ndoye's goal in the 67th minute when Leandro Paredes was shown a yellow card for a tackle on Breel Embolo, but video showed the Swiss player falling before the Argentina midfielder made contact with him, and since Embolo had received a yellow card earlier in the match, he was sent off under the "mistaken identity" protocol, leaving Switzerland to defend with 10 players. Argentina, who are riding a 12-match World Cup unbeaten streak, will next face England in Atlanta in the semifinals.
