Argentina booked their place in the semi-finals of the 2026 FIFA World Cup with a hard-fought 3-1 victory over Switzerland after extra time in Kansas City. Alexis Mac Allister gave La Albiceleste an early lead, but Dan Ndoye equalised in the second half to force the contest beyond 90 minutes.
With the match finely balanced, Julián Álvarez restored Argentina’s advantage in the 112th minute before Lautaro Martínez added a third in stoppage time of extra time to put the result beyond doubt. Switzerland’s hopes were dented after Breel Embolo was sent off during extra time.
The victory sends Argentina into the World Cup semi-finals, where they will face England for a place in the final. The South Americans remain firmly on course for another global title after overcoming a resilient Swiss side.
