The first half of the highly anticipated quarter-final clash between Argentina and Switzerland concluded with a 1-0 advantage for the reigning champions. Argentina, who controlled the tempo and pushed for an opener from the first whistle, eventually found their breakthrough via a perfectly executed set-piece.

The deadlock was broken thanks to a brilliant combination between captain Lionel Messi and Alexis Mac Allister. Messi delivered a perfectly weighted corner kick into the heart of the penalty area, where Mac Allister rose majestically above the Swiss defenders to power a firm header into the back of the net. While Argentina celebrated, Switzerland struggled to find their attacking rhythm. The European side's frustration was evident when striker Breel Embolo was shown a yellow card for a late challenge before the halftime whistle.

📌 Half-Time Summary

  • Score: Argentina 1 - 0 Switzerland (HT)

  • Goal: Alexis Mac Allister (Header)
