SAO PAULO, Brazil -- Argentinas theme at this World Cup seems to be scrappy wins with Lionel Messi pulling through at the last minute to save the day. Yoenis Cespedes Mets Jersey . This time he didnt score on his own, but set the stage for Angel Di Maria to score an extra-time winner against Switzerland. "It doesnt matter if its beautiful or ugly," Di Maria said. "Only that Argentina won and will play another game in the tournament." Argentina will play Belgium in the quarterfinals. Except for its final group-stage win over Nigeria, Argentina has won its matches in Brazil in the same manner -- grinding down its opponents rather than dazzling them with brilliant football. In the first half Tuesday, Argentina struggled to find paths through Switzerlands five-man midfield, and it was the Swiss that produced the best chances. Granit Xhaka pushed Sergio Romero to a great save and Josip Drmic spoiled a great opportunity when he tried to chip the ball over the Argentina goalkeeper. When cracks started opening in the defence in the second half, goalkeeper Diego Benaglio kept Switzerland in the game, stopping Gonzalo Higuains header and Messis low shot in the 78th minute. Benaglio also saved a powerful attempt by Di Maria in extra time, and it looked like the Swiss would be able to push the game into a penalty shootout. Then, in the 118th, Rodrigo Palacio won the ball in midfield and fed Messi, who dribbled down the middle in trademark fashion, escaping a challenge from Swiss defender Fabian Schaer before poking the ball to Di Maria. Unmarked, the Real Madrid player beat Benaglio with his 10th goal in Argentinas colours. "Whats important is that we moved on to the next stage," said Messi, who has scored four of Argentinas seven goals, including an injury-time winner against Iran. "It was difficult. We knew it was going to be a hard match." Swiss substitute 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. Switzerland coach Ottmar Hitzfeld, whose brother died at age 81 one the eve of the match, said his team leaves the tournament with "our heads high." "We made life very tough for them," he said. "They managed to keep their cool. It shows Argentina has a good team." Hitzfeld said it was his last match as a football coach. He had earlier said he would quit after the tournament. His Argentine counterpart, Alejandro Sabella, said he thought his team played a "wonderful match," though he conceded theres room for improvement. "It was a match that we deserved to win," said Sabella. "The first half was very even. They had two clear chances and after that the match was ours." Argentina will play its next match without left back Marcos Rojo, who is suspended after receiving his second yellow card on Tuesday. ------ Lineups: Argentina: Sergio Romero; Pablo Zabaleta, Federico Fernandez, Ezequiel Garay, Marcos Rojo (Jose Maria Basanta, 105); Fernando Gago (Lucas Biglia, 106), Javier Mascherano, Angel Di Maria; Lionel Messi, Gonzalo Higuain, Ezequiel Lavezzi (Rodrigo Palacio, 74).

The Angels hired Baylor on Wednesday to replace Jim Eppard, who wasnt retained by manager Mike Scioscia. The 64-year-old Baylor had been Arizonas hitting coach for the past three years. The former manager of the Rockies and Cubs should be a respected veteran voice on Scioscias coaching staff, which is undergoing an overhaul after the big-budget Angels worst season in a decade. "Don enjoyed a distinguished playing career, highlighted by his tenure with the Angels during their first two division championships," Angels general manager Jerry Dipoto said. "As a coach, he brings us tremendous expertise in the areas of hitting, communication and presence. Its nice to have him home." Many Orange County fans still have fond memories of Baylor, who won the AL MVP award while playing for the Angels in 1979, batting .296 with 36 homers and 139 RBIs. He spent six seasons with the then-California Angels, beecoming the teams clubhouse leader while hitting 141 homers. Carlos Gomez Jersey. Eppard and bench coach Rob Picciolo were let go by the Angels last week. Scioscia and Dipoto kept their jobs despite the Angels 78-84 finish in third place in the AL West in their fourth consecutive season out of the playoffs. Third base coach Dino Ebel was promoted to bench coach, but Scioscia hasnt yet replaced Ebel at third base. The Angels also are likely to hire one or two additional assistant coaches, Dipoto said. Scioscia and Dipoto both praised Eppard while letting him go -- and hitting wasnt usually the Angels biggest problem last season despite underwhelming performances by high-priced sluggers Albert Pujols and Josh Hamilton. Los Angeles was third in the AL in team average (.264) and hits (1,476), finishing sixth with 733 runs. Pitching coach Mike Butcher kept his job despite the Angels 4.23 team ERA -- 11th in the AL. Only Minnesota and Houston allowed more hits in the league than the Los Angeles pitchers ( ' ' '
