Argentina booked their place in the 2026 FIFA World Cup semifinals with a hard-fought 3–1 extra time victory over Switzerland. Alexis Mac Allister gave the defending champions an early lead, but Dan Ndoye brought Switzerland level in the second half. Despite the Swiss being reduced to 10 men, they forced the match into extra time before Julián Álvarez produced a stunning winner in the 112th minute, with Lautaro Martínez adding a late third to seal Argentina’s place in the last four, where they will face England.

Argentina have been tested much more than many expected. After taking the lead early through a set piece, they’ve allowed Switzerland back into the match, and it’s now 1–1 in the second half after Dan Ndoye’s equalizer.
