Striker Julian Alvarez was awarded the man of the match prize for Argentina and Switzerland, which was held this morning, within the quarter-final round of the 2026 World Cup.
Alvarez won the award after leading his country's national team to overcome the Swiss obstacle, with a 3-1 result, after extra time, after scoring the second lead goal for the Tango team, with a wonderful shot from outside the penalty area.
Julian did not present a good level with the Argentine national team during the past matches, as this is his first goal in the current edition of the World Cup, but he succeeded in waking up at the right time.
Alvarez played the full match, scoring a goal from 3 shots, fell into the offside trap only once, and touched the ball on 54 occasions.
Julian lost possession 6 times, provided two key passes to his teammates, and sent a correct cross, while his pass accuracy reached 88%, after completing 37 passes out of 42.
The Argentine striker made three defensive interventions, cleared the ball only once, regained possession 6 times, won two ground duels out of 6, and one aerial duel out of 3.
