Argentina's hero: "We are just two steps away from the goal"

Argentina became the final team to reach the 2026 World Cup semifinals after defeating Switzerland 3&ndash;1 after extra time (1&ndash;1) in a thrilling quarterfinal clash in Kansas City.The memorable encounter was decided in the 112th minute, when Juli&aacute;n &Aacute;lvarez lived up to his nickname &quot;The Spider&quot; and scored one of the most spectacular goals of this year&#39;s World Cup to put Argentina 2&ndash;1 ahead. Lautaro Mart&iacute;nez sealed the victory in stoppage time of the second period of extra time.&quot;I am extremely happy. We fought until the very end. At one point, the match became very difficult, even though we had a man advantage, and then extra time followed. However, we believed that the goal would come if we stayed together and continued attacking &mdash; and that is exactly what happened,&quot; &Aacute;lvarez said.Argentina will now face England in the battle for a place in the World Cup final.&quot;Of course, we would have liked to win earlier, but we know how difficult it is to play at a World Cup. Every match in this tournament has been extremely demanding. We are two steps away from our goal, and we will give everything we have to take them,&quot; &Aacute;lvarez concluded.
