Argentina vs. Switzerland live score, result, highlights from 2026 World Cup quarterfinal game

Argentina and Switzerland meet in the quarterfinal of the 2026 World Cup. La Albiceleste endured quite a test in its Round of 16 tilt against Egypt, rallying from two goals down to cut down the Pharaohs, 3-2.

Lionel Messi has been his usual talismanic self, tallying a tournament-high eight goals thus far. The Argentine supernova has scored in every game he has played in thus far. He'll look to keep his hot run of form going against the Swiss, who survived a daunting penalty shootout against Colombia to advance to the quarterfinals for the third time in their history.
