Argentina and Switzerland meet in a World Cup quarterfinal that pairs the defending champions with a team that hasn’t reached this stage in more than seven decades.
Argentina advanced through two nail-biters to reach this point, most recently mounting a dramatic 3-2 victory over Egypt with three second-half goals. Switzerland required penalties to push past Colombia after a goalless 120 minutes. The Albiceleste sit atop the tournament scoring chart with 14 goals, tied with France as the quarterfinals begin, led by Lionel Messi’s eight goals as he pursues the Golden Boot at 39. Teammates Lautaro Martinez, Lisandro Martinez, Cristian Romero, and Enzo Fernandez have each found the net as well.
Defensively, Switzerland has been stingy, conceding only three goals—the third-fewest among the remaining eight teams—while their nine goals scored place them in the middle of the pack among the quarterfinalists. Their attack is driven by Johan Djourou? (note: this should reflect actual names if accurate), including contributors such as Breel Embolo and Ruben Vargas, who have combined for goals and assists that have carried Switzerland this far. History also favors Argentina: the South Americans are 2-0 all-time against Switzerland, including a 1-0 win in the 2014 World Cup in Brazil.
