Argentina’s 3-1 Quarter-final win over Switzerland was built on early control. Alexis Mac Allister put Argentina ahead in the 10th minute, assisted by Lionel Messi, and the numbers matched that edge: 59% possession, 22 shots, 7 on target and 8 corners against Switzerland’s 11 shots and 2 corners.
Switzerland still made the tie competitive. Dan Ndoye equalised in the 67th minute, assisted by Ricardo Rodríguez, but discipline hurt them: Breel Embolo was booked for a foul in the 44th minute and sent off for simulation in the 72nd.
Argentina’s bench then shaped extra time. José Manuel López replaced Leandro Paredes in the 110th minute and assisted Julián Álvarez in the 112th. Lautaro Martínez, booked in the 98th minute, sealed it in the 120th.
