Argentina snatch it late

Right at the death. Argentina found the winner deep into stoppage time against Egypt in the last 16 — the kind of goal that empties the lungs of a living room. Heartbreak one end, bedlam the other.

Argentina march on

Argentina are through. They saw off Egypt 3–2 in the last 16, and a family that's followed them all summer dares to look a little further up the bracket. On to the quarter-finals.

Argentina Rally from Two Down to Edge Egypt in World Cup Thriller

Argentina found themselves trailing Egypt by two goals in a Round of 16 encounter that looked to be slipping away, but the South Americans mounted an improbable comeback to steal the tie. Goals from Messi and Romero clawed them level before Enzo Fernández headed home the winner, capturing the grit and quality that defines Argentina's tournament run. It was a reminder that this squad has the character to turn matches on their head when it matters most.
