Argentina has secured its place in the 2026 FIFA World Cup semifinals following a hard-fought 3-1 extra-time victory over Switzerland at Kansas City Stadium.
Lionel Messi, at 39 years old, extended his record for World Cup assists by setting up Alexis Mac Allister for an early goal. Switzerland equalized in the 67th minute, forcing the match into extra time.
Argentina then secured the win with late goals from Julián Álvarez and Lautaro Martínez. The team will now face England in the semifinals, reigniting a historic rivalry on July 15.
