Messi’s Stoppage-Time Magic Seals Argentina’s Comeback Over Egypt
Argentina trailed Egypt 2-0 deep into the second half before Lionel Messi turned the game on its head. Messi set up Cristian Romero in the 79th minute, then equalised four minutes later. In stoppage time, Enzo Fernández powered home the winner to complete a historic turnaround. This marks the first time a team has overturned a two-goal deficit in a World Cup knockout match without extra time. Argentina now advance to face Colombia or Switzerland in the quarterfinals.
