The Swiss struck in the 67th minute through Dan Ndoye, but Switzerland’s match ended with a turning-point red card after a yellow card was overturned via the World Cup’s “mistaken identity” video protocol. Argentina then pushed again in the final stretch, including late chances involving Mac Allister and Messi, before the score remained tied into extra time.
Argentina’s run to the final four will next include England. Earlier in the day, England beat Norway 2-1, setting up the semifinals matchup with Argentina in Atlanta on Wednesday. For Kansas City, Argentina’s week in the region mattered: the team trained for the past month at the home of Major League Soccer club Sporting Kansas City, and on Saturday night the players drew a large crowd at Arrowhead Stadium during the quarterfinal round.
