Argentina reached the World Cup 2026 semi-finals after a 3-1 extra-time win over Switzerland in the quarter-finals, and both supplied versions say Switzerland were reduced to 10 men. One source also says Embolo’s dismissal left Switzerland at a numerical disadvantage and that Argentina’s experience and depth proved decisive, but those descriptive details are not confirmed by the paired source.
Confirmed facts

Why it matters
The result sends Argentina into the World Cup semi-finals, while the ten-man detail and extra-time scoreline help explain how a knockout match was decided. Because the supplied sources are limited and one version is only a headline, the report should be treated as based on the provided materials rather than independently verified.
