ARGENTINA 3-1 SWITZERLAND | Julian Alvarez Scores Stunner | MATCH REACTION

Julian Alvarez scored an extra-time stunner as Argentina beat 10-man Switzerland 3-1 and set up a mouth-watering World Cup semi-final clash with England.

Lionel Messi and Co will face the Three Lions in Atlanta on Wednesday at 8pm UK time, with a place in the final against either France or Spain on the line.

It will be the first competitive meeting between the nations in 24 years.

Despite Switzerland’s positive start in Kansas City, they only had themselves to blame when they fell behind inside 10 minutes. Alexis Mac Allister was twice left unmarked at a corner – and the second time he punished them, by guiding in a header in after being picked out by Messi.
