🧠 Match Summary
vs
Argentina powered into the semi-finals of the 2026 FIFA World Cup with a 3-1 victory over Switzerland in Kansas City, though the statistics sheet only captures part of a fiercely contested quarter-final. Alexis Mac Allister set the tone early, firing the reigning champions ahead in the 10th minute, and Argentina's dominance was evident throughout — 59% possession, 22 shots, and eight corners underlined their control. Switzerland, reduced to ten men by a red card, pulled one back through Dan Ndoye on 67 minutes to briefly threaten, but the Swiss could not sustain the pressure against a relentless Albiceleste side that ultimately ran out deserving winners and march on in their bid for back-to-back World Cup glory.
