ANGEL Di Maria scored two minutes from the end of extra-time as Argentina edged past Switzerland 1-0 to reach the quarter-finals of the World Cup on Tuesday.
After a dour 90 minutes at the Arena Corinthians in which Argentina failed to ñnd a breakthrough past an obdurate Swiss side, Di Maria`s goal came with the match seemingly heading for a shootout.
Lionel Messi found him inside the penalty box and the Real Madrid winger stroked the ball home with a left-footed shot that gave Swiss goalkeeper Diego Benaglio no chance.
