Julián Álvarez produced a moment of brilliance as Argentina defeated Switzerland 3-1 after extra time to reach the FIFA World Cup 2026 semi-finals. With the match locked at 1-1, Álvarez scored a spectacular long-range goal in the 112th minute to put the defending champions ahead. Lautaro Martínez added another goal late in extra time to seal the victory after Alexis Mac Allister had opened the scoring in the first half. Switzerland equalised through Dan Ndoye before being reduced to 10 men. Argentina will now face England in a blockbuster semi-final.
