The reigning World Cup champions advanced to the ¼ finals.

Argentina was trailing 2-0 after 67 minutes against Egypt, but found a way to win in the regular time after scoring 3 late goals for the epic comeback win at Mercedes-Benz Stadium in Atlanta, and this way Leo Messi and his teammates continue in the World Cup and can still defend its title.

Everything started perfectly for the African country as they took the lead after only 15 minutes and kept it at halftime.

At the beginning of the 2nd half, Mostafa Ziko doubled Egypt’s lead, but his goal was controversially disallowed. Despite that, Mostafa Ziko scored again in the 67th minute and made his team’s lead 2 goals.

However, Argentina found a way to come back in the match when Leo Messi assisted Christian Romero in the 79th minute, while Argentinian superstar tied the result himself in the 83rd minute.

When everyone expected another extra time, after that was exactly what happened in Argentina’s previous game against Cape Verde, this time in the additional time, Lautaro Martinez found Enzo Fernandez, and he scored the winning goal in the 92nd minute in another crazy World Cup game for his nation in the USA.
