Argentina reach the World Cup quarter-finals after completing a dramatic comeback to beat Egypt 3-2 in the round of 16 in Atlanta. Multiple reports say Argentina fall behind 2-0, with one outlet placing the second goal at the 67th minute and another noting they trail by roughly 11 minutes remaining. From there, Argentina score three goals to overturn the deficit and secure the win.
Enzo Fernández is credited with the decisive strike, scoring a late header in stoppage time to put Argentina ahead 3-2. The goal is described as a “dramatic” and “epic” finish, but all accounts agree on the key sequence: a two-goal deficit, a rapid late revival, and Fernández’s late header sealing progression.
With the result, Argentina advance to the quarter-finals. Egypt’s tournament run ends in the round of 16 as they are unable to hold on to their 2-0 lead.
