Argentina reach the World Cup quarter-finals after beating Egypt 3-2 in the last 16 match. Multiple reports describe a difficult start for the reigning champions, with Egypt taking control early and leading 2-0. Argentina then stage a late fightback to overturn the deficit, scoring three goals in the final phase of the game to secure a 3-2 win. Several outlets characterize the turnaround as dramatic or “epic,” emphasizing that Argentina appear to be trailing and potentially eliminated before their late equalization and winning goal.
One report also notes an incident involving a goal ruled out by the video assistant referee, which affects Egypt’s chances in the match. After Argentina’s victory, the quarter-final line-up is set for them to progress, with their next opponents reported as either Switzerland or Colombia depending on the outcome of the other quarter-final pairing mentioned by some sources. Across outlets, the central points remain consistent: Egypt leads 2-0, Argentina mounts a late comeback to 3-2, and Argentina advance to the last eight.
