Defending champions Argentina came from two goals down to defeat Egypt 3-2 and book their place in the quarterfinals of the 2026 FIFA World Cup.
Egypt took a 2-0 lead through Yasser Ibrahim and Mostafa Zico, while goalkeeper Mostafa Shobeir also saved a Lionel Messi penalty to put the African side in a commanding position.
Argentina mounted a late comeback as Cristian Romero pulled one back before Messi equalised. Enzo Fernández then scored the winner in stoppage time to complete the dramatic turnaround.
The victory sends Argentina into the quarterfinals, while Egypt’s historic World Cup campaign came to an end.
