Drama & Talking Points
Merino's late heroics
Mikel Merino came through in the clutch for Spain in previous rounds, scoring a dramatic late winner that kept Spanish hopes alive. His knack for arriving in the box at the right moment has been a defining subplot of their campaign.
Messi's Argentina exits
The defending champions are out. Lionel Messi's Argentina fell to Switzerland in extra time, a result that sent shockwaves through the tournament. Mac Allister's early opener was not enough as the Swiss fought back with two second-half goals to seal the upset.
Embolo sent off - then vindicated
Breel Embolo received a controversial red card for simulation in Switzerland's quarterfinal win over Argentina, only for the decision to be widely criticized. The Swiss striker was later vindicated as replays showed clear contact. The red card was rescinded post-match, but Embolo will miss the semifinal.
