Argentina are through to the semi-finals of the FIFA World Cup 2026 after defeating a ten-man Switzerland 3-1 in Kansas City, with two goals arriving in extra-time to seal the victory.

The match turned in Argentina's favour when Switzerland were reduced to ten men, and the South American champions capitalised ruthlessly, netting twice in the additional period to put the contest beyond doubt.

Argentina's reward is a showdown with England in the last four, with the semi-final scheduled for Wednesday, 15 July.

The result continues Argentina's formidable run in the tournament as they chase back-to-back World Cup glory, setting up what promises to be one of the most high-profile clashes of the competition so far.

England, meanwhile, await their opponents having secured their own place in the semi-finals, and the two nations will now face each other in what is sure to be a fiercely contested encounter at this stage of the FIFA World Cup 2026.
