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

1 hour ago 2

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.

Pregame

5:10 p.m.: Messi has been Argentina’s most prolific attacker thus far. He’ll look to continue his rich run of scoring on Saturday and score in his ninth straight World Cup match.

4:30 p.m.: Johan Manzambi’s absence will be a huge loss to Switzerland, who will look to reproduce what Cape Verde and Egypt showcased in their Round of 32 and Round of 16 tilts with La Albiceleste: they’re susceptible to fast-paced transitions.
