Argentina secured another epic comeback triumph at this World Cup as this time they defeated England 2-1 and advanced to the World Cup final, where they will defend their title against Spain.
Leo Messi was crucial again for his country as he made both assists for the goals, and he will have the chance to lift the World Cup trophy again if his nation beats Spain on Sunday.
The 1st half was primarily a physical fight as neither team had any shot on target, and the fans didn’t see any clear chance for a goal.
However, everything changed at the beginning of the 2nd half when Anthony Gordon opened the score in the 55th minute as he received an amazing pass from Morgan Rodgers.
The Three Lions decided to defend their lead, and Thomas Tuchel made a lot of changes in defense, while Argentina was dominating, and in the 85th minute, they tied the result after a phenomenal shot from Enzo Fernández.
Leo Messi and his teammates continued to dominate as they also hit the post twice in the meantime, and the winning goal came in the extra time when Argentina’s captain assisted Lautaro Martinez, whose header was the winning goal that sent his team to the final.
