The Spider appears! Julián Álvarez scores a stunner on 112' v Switzerland | OneFootball

The Spider rubbed the lamp in the 112th minute of extra time to break open a brutally tough battle in Kansas City and put the Albiceleste within touching distance of the semifinals.

Football, drama, and a sacred roar that shakes an entire country! Just when the match seemed inevitably headed for penalties, the absolute class of the Atlético de Madrid striker emerged. In the 112th minute of the second extra-time period, Julián Álvarez got hold of a crucial ball and unleashed a thunderous rocket to bury it in the back of the net.

With this tremendous strike to make it 2-1, Argentina has broken through the stubborn resistance of a wounded Switzerland side playing with ten men. Arrowhead Stadium completely erupted over a goal worth its weight in gold, one that is sending Lionel Scaloni’s team into the next round of the 2026 World Cup.

If this result holds in the final minutes of extra time, the national team will advance directly to the semifinals, where England is already waiting for next Wednesday, July 15, in Atlanta.
