Nico Elvedi produced Switzerland's best individual display in the World Cup quarter-final, earning player-of-the-match honours with 78 touches, 2 key passes and 3 long balls.

Despite the defender's tireless contribution — which also included 3 ground duels and 1 shot blocked — Argentina advanced to the semi-finals. It is a bittersweet recognition for Elvedi and Switzerland, who exit the tournament despite their centre-back's finest hour.
