In extra time, Argentina snatches victory and reaches the quarterfinals of the World Cup

It would seem that in the match of the 1/8 finals Argentina - Switzerland, everything was predetermined even before it started. Well, it would seem that a fairly average European team (included in the top ten in the FIFA rankings), with a couple of star players and a former Bayern coach who led it to the championship five times, will be able to oppose the great Messi, Aguero or Di Maria? Nevertheless, the first half was almost dictated by the Swiss, and the second, although controlled by the Argentines, who created many dangerous moments at the gates of Diego Benaglio, but did not bring the desired result.

Once again in this amazing championship, the referee invited the players to an additional battle for two extra halves. And only in the last minutes of extra time, Angel Di Maria took advantage of almost the only mistake of the Swiss. The Swiss had a chance to equalize - even goalkeeper Benaglio resorted to a series of set pieces. But the miracle did not happen and the sensation did not happen - Argentina, with difficulty, but defeats Switzerland and goes to the quarterfinals.
