| Di Maria |

The 7th knock-out match of the 2014 World Cup is the fourth match of the tournament to go into extra time.

El septimo partido de la fase segunda del mundial de Brasil y es el cuatro partido con el tiempo adicional.

Messi once again makes the difference thanks to a moment of magic by the Barcelona man to assist Angel Di Maria’s winning goal in the final few minutes of extra-time to put Argentina through to the last 8.

Nuevamente Messi es la diferencia, como el author de asistencia, por el gol decesivo de Di María en los últimos minutos del tiempo adicional. 

– Switzerland pile on the pressure and give Sabella’s side a fright by hitting the post in stoppage time.

– Suiza tenía mucha posesión y casí marcó pero pegó en el palo.

· Argentina become the 4th Latin America side to progress to the quarter-finals of the 2014 World Cup.

· Switzerland have conceded just 2 goals in the 2nd half of their last 11 World Cup matches; Switzerland have not conceded in 9 2nd halfs of World Cup matches (2006, 2010 & 2014).
