Two superstars from two teams Lionel Messi and Xherdan Shaqiri greeted each other before the match.

The game started cagily but the closely guarded Messi carved Argentina's first opening when he glided into the box and crossed behind the defence.
Zoom
Argentina had their best chance when Messi's cross found Rodrigo Palacio, who had just come on for Lavezzi but he could only glance his header wide.
Zoom
Tempers flared and referee Jonas Eriksson intervened when Messi tangled with Valon Behrami, and appeared to shove him to the ground. But the Argentine captain escaped without a caution.
Zoom
Both the goalkeepers made some decent saves to keep their team in the hunt.

With extra-time looming and the crowd growing tense, Messi went at the defence with a short, jinking run and shot which was smothered by Swiss 'keeper Diego Benaglio.

Argentina had failed to muster much by way of chances but just two minutes before the penalty shoot-out, Lionel Messi picked out Di Maria for his priceless strike.
