Argentina and Switzerland clash in a World Cup quarterfinal that pits the defending champions against a side that hasn’t reached this stage of the tournament in more than 70 years.
Argentina survived back-to-back thrillers to get here, most recently scoring three second-half goals in a 3-2 win over Egypt, while Switzerland needed penalties to get past Colombia after a scoreless 120 minutes.
La Albiceleste lead the tournament in scoring with 14 goals, tied with France, fueled by Lionel Messi’s eight goals as he chases the Golden Boot at age 39. Lautaro Martinez, Lisandro Martinez, Cristian Romero and Enzo Fernandez have each added a goal of their own.
Switzerland, meanwhile, has been stingy at the back, allowing just three goals — third-fewest among the remaining eight teams — while their nine goals scored are tied for eighth among quarterfinalists. The Swiss are led by Johan Manzambi (three goals, two assists), Breel Embolo (two goals, two assists) and Ruben Vargas (two goals, one assist).
History leans Argentina’s way, too: they’re 2-0 all-time against the Swiss, including a 1-0 win at the 2014 World Cup in Brazil.
