Argentina are into the World Cup semi-final after a 3-2 win over Switzerland in Kansas City, with the quarter-final decided after extra time.
Mac Allister headed Argentina in front, but Ndoye brought Switzerland level before the game turned again in the added period. Alvarez scored a stunning goal in extra time to restore Argentina's lead, and Martinez added a late third to put the result beyond doubt.
The match also featured a major VAR intervention when Embolo was sent off after a yellow card was overturned for mistaken identity. It was a crucial moment in a tight contest that stayed in the balance deep into the night.
What it means next
Argentina will face England in the last four on Wednesday at 20:00 BST. That semi-final will be the fifth World Cup meeting between Argentina and England, adding another layer to a rivalry that already carries plenty of history.
There was also a wider storyline around Lionel Messi, who remained on eight goals and level with Kylian Mbappe in the Golden Boot race. For Argentina, though, the bigger priority was simply getting the job done, and they did that by finding the decisive goals when the match was still alive.
It was another reminder of how fine the margins can be in a World Cup quarter-final. Switzerland pushed Argentina all the way, but Alvarez's extra-time strike and Martinez's late finish made the difference as Argentina moved on.
