Argentina v Switzerland

The captain pulls rank and strikes the set-piece, looking to pull his side ahead from the free-kick, but he can only send his dispatch straight into the Switzerland wall - which holds firm under the weight of the powerful hit.

Amdouni steps into a tackle on Messi just after the captain shifted the ball on to a team-mate, with the referee initially deciding to award advantage, before pulling play back for a set-piece. It’s a free-kick within Messi’s range - just right of centre, 30 yards from goal.

Since losing 2-1 to Saudi Arabia in their opening match in 2022, Argentina are unbeaten in their last 11 World Cup matches (nine wins and two draws), their longest run without defeat in the competition’s history.

Jashari pulls the ball back to Xhaka, who sends his left-footed first-time effort from distance high and wide of Emiliano Martinez’s target.

Yellow Card

Akanji looks to shield the ball behind for a goal-kick, forcing club team-mate Lautaro Martinez to slide into an ill-advised tackle that catches the ankle of the centre-back. The challenge forces the referee to produce his second yellow card in as many minutes - showing it to the Inter striker.

Yellow Card

Almada doesn’t try to hide his cynical intervention as he jumps on the back of Freuler just inside Argentina’s half, in order to bring the midfielder to the ground. It’s a yellow card for the substitute, seven minutes after his introduction.
