Messi, standing over it with that familiar, deceptive calm, whipped the ball precisely to the near post. Alexis Mac Allister read it perfectly. His looping header found the far corner past Gregor Kobel, and Argentina had their lead.<\/p>\n<p>Granit Xhaka tried to impose himself in midfield after that, looking to drag Switzerland back into the contest. Argentina&#8217;s low block held. This was a team that knew exactly how to protect a lead \u2014 they had done it dozens of times before. Breel Embolo picked up a yellow card for a challenge in the 43rd minute, a booking that would return to haunt him.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Ndoye_Brings_Switzerland_Level_%E2%80%94_and_Then_the_Red_Card\"><\/span><b>Ndoye Brings Switzerland Level \u2014 and Then the Red Card<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>The second half was a different match. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.zee5.com\/sports\/football\/fifa-world-cup\/2026\/0-6-4z5974253\/0-2-5z5974716\/teams\/switzerland\/switzerland-squad\">Switzerland <\/a>came out transformed. More direct, more urgent, pressing higher. Emi Mart\u00ednez produced a crucial save in the 58th minute, spreading himself brilliantly to deny a fierce low shot from Dan Ndoye. The danger had been flagged. Argentina didn&#8217;t heed the warning.<\/p>\n<p>67th minute. Ricardo Rodr\u00edguez found the pocket behind Argentina&#8217;s defensive line and slipped an inch-perfect pass through. Ndoye \u2014 the same man Mart\u00ednez had stopped nine minutes earlier \u2014 got there first and slid the ball beneath the keeper&#8217;s legs. 1\u20131.<\/p>\n<p>In the 72nd minute, the referee initially issued a yellow card to Leandro Paredes after believing he had fouled Embolo. However, a historic VAR review under the tournament&#8217;s new &#8220;mistaken identity&#8221; protocol revealed that Embolo had actually simulated the fall. As a result, Paredes\u2019 yellow card was rescinded, and Embolo was booked for a second time in this match. He was sent off. Switzerland, who had just equalised and gained momentum, were down to ten men. A night that had felt like it might belong to them suddenly shifted.<\/p>\n<p>Argentina made changes to exploit the numerical advantage. Nicol\u00e1s Gonz\u00e1lez came on for Tagliafico in the 77th minute to add width. Lautaro Mart\u00ednez and Gonzalo Montiel entered in the 84th, bringing fresh legs and directness. Switzerland threw on three players simultaneously \u2014 Widmer, Amdouni, and Muheim \u2014 needing every ounce of energy they had left. The 90 minutes ended 1\u20131. Extra time.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Alvarez_Breaks_the_Deadlock_Lautaro_Ends_It\"><\/span><b>\u00c1lvarez Breaks the Deadlock, Lautaro Ends It<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Messi lined up a free-kick from a dangerous position outside the box in the 104th minute, the kind of set piece that has ended World Cups before. He struck it cleanly. The Swiss wall ate it. The tension only grew.<\/p>\n<p>The moment that decided the evening came in the 112th minute. A pass from L\u00f3pez found Juli\u00e1n \u00c1lvarez outside the box. He ran for a few steps to find a better angle and then an unstoppable, curling right-footed strike into the top far corner. Kobel dived but could not reach it. No goalkeeper in the world was saving that. It was perfect. Argentina 2\u20131 Switzerland. The sound that erupted inside the Kansas City Stadium could have been heard in Buenos Aires.<\/p>\n<p>Switzerland had nothing left. Rub\u00e9n Vargas replaced Remo Freuler in the 114th minute to add some attacking width into the mix, but it was too late. Argentina were in complete control now.<\/p>\n<p>In the first minute of stoppage time, Argentina counterattacked. Almada drove forward and tested Kobel. The save was made. Lautaro Mart\u00ednez, alert, sharp and in position, turned in the rebound. 3\u20131.<\/p>\n<p>Argentina advances to the semi-finals. Switzerland&#8217;s tournament ends with heads held high \u2014 they pushed the defending champions to extra time with ten men, scored against them, and played with a spirit that earned every inch of respect. But tonight belonged to \u00c1lvarez&#8217;s moment of brilliance. It is a moment that will be admired for decades.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong><i>Choose the <\/i><a href=\"https:\/\/www.zee5.com\/myaccount\/subscription?plan-ref=0-11-7467&amp;asset-ref=0-6-4z5914493&amp;visibility=SELECTED&amp;context=FIFA\"><i>ZEE 5 FIFA Subscription<\/i><\/a><i> Quarterly Plan subscription at \u20b9799, or the ZEE 5 Annual Plan subscription at \u20b91,699 to stream Argentina&#8217;s<\/i><a href=\"https:\/\/www.zee5.com\/sports\/football\/fifa-world-cup\/2026\"><i> FIFA World Cup 2026\u2122<\/i><\/a><i> semi-final live in India.<\/i><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><i>Disclaimer: Subscription pack prices are subject to change from time to time.
