Angel Di Maria scored in the 118th minute Tuesday to give Argentina a 1-0 win over Switzerland after extra time and a spot in the World Cup quarterfinals.

With a penalty shootout looming, Lionel Messi made a surging run toward the Swiss area and laid the ball off to Di Maria on the right, and the winger sent a left-foot shot past diving goalkeeper Diego Benaglio.

Blerim Dzemaili nearly equalized right before the end but his header hit the post, and the rebound bounced off his knee and wide of the goal.

Argentina will play the winner of Belgium and the United States.

It was a dramatic ending to what had been a tight match, with Argentina struggling to break through Switzerland’s disciplined defense.

Though Argentina dominated possession from the start, it was Switzerland that had the best chances in the slow-paced first half. Xherdan Shaqiri cut in from the left in the 28th and found Granit Xhaka in the middle of the penalty area, but Sergio Romero stopped Xhaka’s shot with his left foot.

Alone with Romero, striker Josip Drmic wasted a chance to score 10 minutes later with a botched attempt to chip over the Argentina goalkeeper.

Argentina’s attack improved after the break when fullback Marcos Rojo launched raids down the left flank, feeding crosses to the Argentine attackers.

Just after the half-hour mark Gonzalo Higuian finally got an attempt on target as he connected with Rojo’s cross, forcing Benaglio to a fingertip save.

In the 78th, Messi tested Benaglio again as he dribbled into the area and struck a low shot that the Swiss goalkeeper stopped at his right post.

Benaglio kept Switzerland in the game when got a hand on Di Maria’s shot in 109th minute, but had no chance on the Argentina player’s winner.

England defender Ashley Cole and Cameroon striker Samuel Eto’o have left Chelsea but former Australia goalkeeper Mark Schwarzer has signed a new one-year deal, the club said on Tuesday.

Eto’o and Cole, both 33, had been expected to leave the Premier League side after their contracts came to an end last month.

Cole spent eight seasons at Chelsea after joining from Arsenal. He made 338 appearances and helped them to Champions League glory in 2012, the Premier League and FA Cup double in 2010 and a Europa League triumph in 2013.

He retired from the England side after missing out on a place in Roy Hodgson’s 23-man squad for the World Cup in Brazil.

“Cole has a very strong claim to be this club’s greatest player in his position of all time,” Chelsea said in a statement.

“Chelsea Football Club thanks Ashley for the fantastic service he gave throughout his eight years here and for helping to bring so many trophies home. We wish him well for the future.”

Cole’s long-time club and international team mate Frank Lampard also left Stamford Bridge last month.

Eto’o arrived from Russian team Anzhi Makhachkala, scoring nine goals in 21 league appearances in his one season at Stamford Bridge.

Schwarzer, 41, made 13 appearances for the club last season after joining on a free transfer from Fulham.

In December he became the oldest player to make his debut in the Champions League when he featured against Steaua Bucharest.

Schwarzer will again provide cover for Czech Petr Cech and potentially young Belgium international Thibaut Courtois who could return to the club after spending three seasons with Atletico Madrid.

Seven-time champion Roger Federer returned to the quarterfinals at Wimbledon with a clinical 6-1, 6-4, 6-4 victory over Tommy Robredo of Spain on Tuesday.

The fourth-seeded Federer looked in complete control and saved the only break point he faced in the final game of the match with a forehand volley. He has yet to lose a set at the All England Club this year.

Federer, who owns 17 Grand Slam titles, lost in the second round at the All England Club in 2013, ending his streak of reaching the quarterfinals at 36 consecutive major tournaments.

He served 11 aces and hit 41 winners against Robredo, who defeated Federer in the fourth round of the U.S. Open last year.

The 23rd-seeded Robredo never has been past the fourth round at Wimbledon.

Roy Keane was confirmed as Aston Villa’s new assistant manager on Tuesday, working alongside the Premier League club’s boss Paul Lambert while continuing his job as number two to Republic of Ireland manager Martin O’Neill.

O’Neill has given the move his approval and the 42-year-old former Manchester United midfielder will be in place when pre-season training begins on July 7.

Following discussions with O’Neill, the Football Association of Ireland (FAI) and Aston Villa, Keane felt the move will give him a chance to coach outside the international window and monitor the progress of Irish players in the Premier League.

“I am looking forward to linking up with Paul Lambert at Aston Villa and thank Martin and the FAI for giving me the opportunity to do so,” Keane said in an FAI media release on Tuesday.

“I remain totally committed to my job with the Republic of Ireland and all that it involves. This agreement promises to be an exciting challenge and will give me an opportunity to continue developing my coaching skills on a daily basis that should ultimately benefit everyone.”

Lambert had no doubts that the former Irish international’s input would prove a huge asset for the club.

“Roy has a great knowledge of football, on the coaching side as well, and he’ll be a great asset and a big help to everybody here at Aston Villa Football Club,” Lambert told the Villa website (www.avfc.co.uk).

“Roy brought Sunderland up out of the Championship and into the Premier League, he gained further experience at Ipswich – where we were close rivals while I was manager at Norwich – and he’s now working at international level as assistant manager with the Republic of Ireland.

“All of that experience and knowledge along with the qualities he has as a longstanding, leading professional in the game means he will bring a lot to the table. We’re delighted to have him here,” Lambert added.

Formula One may say goodbye to one of its most historic tracks at Monza, according to boss Bernie Ecclestone.

Monza’s current deal was agreed to in 2010 and Ecclestone said he believes it is unlikely to be renewed when it runs out at the end of 2016.

“Its future isn’t good,” Ecclestone said in an interview published by the Italian daily Gazzetta dello Sport on Tuesday. “I don’t think we’ll do another contract, the old one was a disaster for us from a commercial point of view. After 2016, bye bye…”

Monza, which first hosted an F1 race in 1922, is one of the most famous and beloved tracks on the circuit. Every Italian Grand Prix since 1950 has been held at the track except the 1980 race, which was held at Imola.

“Ecclestone’s comments on the Monza Grand Prix are worrying,” said Antonio Rossi of the Department of Sport and Youth Policy in the Lombardy Region. “As regional councilor I ask for the government to help us protect the Italian Grand Prix, which has played an important part in the history of Formula One and which, above all, plays an important economic role and brings jobs to the region.”

If Monza is dropped by F1, the Italian Grand Prix could be held at Mugello, a proposal that has been mooted by Ferrari President Luca di Montezemolo. Ferrari owns the circuit.

Italy could also lose its race altogether due to the sport’s dwindling fan base in the country following numerous disappointing seasons for Ferrari.

“TV audiences are lower in Italy than elsewhere,” Ecclestone said. “If Ferrari starts placing first or second in qualifying and races … the audiences would increase everywhere. Ferrari is a worldwide passion.”

Cameroon’s football federation said it will investigate allegations of match-fixing by its team at the World Cup and the possible existence of “seven bad apples” in the squad.

Fecafoot said in a statement late Monday it had instructed its own ethics committee to open an investigation, although it added it had not yet been contacted by FIFA, the sport’s global governing body.

Cameroon was eliminated after losing all three of its group-stage matches at the World Cup: 1-0 to Mexico, 4-0 to Croatia and 4-1 to host Brazil.

“Recent allegations of fraud around Cameroon’s three 2014 FIFA World Cup preliminary games, especially Cameroon vs. Croatia, as well as the `existence of seven bad apples (in our national team)’ do not reflect the values and principles promotes by our administration in line with the FIFA Code of Conduct and the ethics of our nation,” Fecafoot said in the statement.

“We wish to inform the general public that, though not contacted by FIFA in regards to this affair, our administration has already instructed its ethics committee to further investigate these accusations.”

Cameroon had a disastrous World Cup, conceding nine goals and scoring just one in its three games.

The Croatia match was also marred by an argument between Cameroon teammates Benoit Assou-Ekotto and Benjamin Moukandjo that ended with Assou-Ekotto head-butting his teammate.

Fecafoot has already launched a disciplinary investigation into the behavior of its players in the Croatia game. “We are strongly committed to employ all means necessary to resolve this disruptive matter,” the federation said of the investigation and the match-fixing allegations.

Nigeria coach Stephen Keshi has stepped down from his post after the country’s elimination from the World Cup, FIFA said on Tuesday.

The Nigerian Football Federation have yet to confirm his resignation, however, and Keshi was evasive in answering a question on his future after Monday’s 2-0 loss to France in their last-16 round encounter in Brasilia.

FIFA.com quoted a tweet from Keshi, although earlier in the tournament Nigerian officials claimed the manager had no social media presence.

“Friends, it has been a good run and I have enjoyed every moment. It’s been an honour coaching the Super Eagles. It is however time to bow out,” the tweet said.

Asked what he planned to do after the World Cup, after being linked to the national team job in South Africa, Keshi told reporters on Monday: “I’m going home to visit my wife and kids. I’ve not seen them for a long time.”

The 52-year-old, whose nickname is “Big Boss”, coached the Super Eagles to last year’s African Nations Cup crown. He had been in charge of the side since late 2011 after several previous stints as assistant.

Keshi was the captain of Nigeria for their maiden World Cup appearance in the United States in 1994 and also worked as national coach of Togo and Mali in the past.
