Argentina - Switzerland: The Dive and the Curling Shot in Video
In regular time, Breel Embolo's dive was the turning point, but the game was ultimately decided by Julian Alvarez's wonder goal. Highlights:
For over 50 minutes, Switzerland had to play with ten men against the world champion.
With the score at 1-1, shortly after the Swiss equalized, Breel Embolo was tempted into a dive against Leandro Paredes and was sent off with his second yellow card – it was the turning point in this quarter-final.
Although Argentina didn't necessarily push for a 2-1 lead in regular time, the defending champion utilized their numerical advantage better in extra time. Thus, in the 113th minute, it was Julian Alvarez who secured the decisive goal with a spectacular curling shot.
