Argentina complete a late comeback to end England’s World Cup hopes, overturning an England lead from the 55th minute. Anthony Gordon puts England ahead during the second half, but the defending champions respond with two goals in the closing stages. Enzo Fernandez scores to level the match, and Lautaro Martinez finds a last-gasp winner to secure Argentina’s progression. The late turnaround ensures England’s campaign ends despite the earlier advantage, while Argentina advance following a comeback that hinges on goals scored late in the game. Multiple reports describe the sequence as the decisive factor: England take the lead through Gordon, then Argentina’s late pressure produces quick results through Fernandez and Martinez. Overall, the match is defined by the timing of Argentina’s goals, which come after England’s in-game lead has established control for a period before being erased in the final minutes.
