In the long tradition of championship defenses, Argentina found their defining moment not in regulation, but in the stretched silence of extra time — when Julian Alvarez, standing well beyond the penalty area, struck a long-range goal in the 112th minute to send the defending World Cup champions past Switzerland 3-1 and into the semifinals. It is a reminder that in sport, as in much of life, resilience is not the absence of difficulty but the capacity to act decisively within it.
