On Saturday night, July 12th, 2026, Argentina edged past Switzerland in a tense World Cup quarterfinal match in Kansas City, United States. The Lionel Messi-led Argentina squad, aiming for a consecutive World Cup title, faced a resilient Swiss team making their first quarterfinal appearance since 1954 after defeating Colombia on penalties.

Argentina took an early lead in the 10th minute when Alexis Mac Allister scored shortly after a corner from Messi. Switzerland responded in the 67th minute with Dan Ndoye leveling the score at 1-1, surprising the predominantly pro-Argentina crowd. However, Ndoye received his second yellow card and was sent off, forcing Switzerland to play with 10 men for the remainder of the match.

Despite Messi not scoring and ending his nine-game World Cup scoring streak dating back to 2022, Argentina maintained control. The decisive moment came in the 112th minute when Julian Alvarez scored the winning goal, sending Argentina into the semifinals where they will face England in Atlanta.
