Stoppage-Time Drama: Argentina Erase Egypt’s 2-0 World Cup Lead
Egypt looked set for a historic win after leading Argentina 2-0 for more than an hour in their World Cup tie. The Pharaohs soaked up pressure and struck twice on the counter. But Lionel Messi and his side turned the game on its head with three late goals between the 79th and 90th minute to snatch a 3-2 victory. The collapse has sparked debate over key officiating decisions that seemed to favour the holders. An emotional Argentina coach admitted he was overwhelmed by the comeback, while Egyptian players and fans now grapple with one of the biggest heartbreaks in the nation’s World Cup history. Despite the exit, this remains Egypt’s most memorable campaign yet. They leave the tournament with pride intact and lessons to build on for the future.
