Argentina booked their spot in the World Cup semi-finals with a 3-1 victory over Switzerland in a quarter-final thriller at Kansas City Stadium on Saturday. Julian Alvarez and Lautaro Martinez both struck in extra time to seal the reigning champions' passage.
Alexis Mac Allister had given Argentina the lead in normal time, but Dan Ndoye levelled for the Swiss. Switzerland's hopes of an upset took a hit when Breel Embolo received his marching orders in the second half.
The defending champions will now face England in the semi-finals after Alvarez's curling finish and Martinez's close-range effort proved decisive in the tension-soaked contest.
