Argentina produced a dramatic late comeback to defeat England 2–1 in the FIFA World Cup semi-final, scoring twice in the closing minutes to book their place in the final.
After a goalless first half, England took the lead in the 55th minute when Anthony Gordon arrived unmarked at the back post to convert a cross from Morgan Rogers, putting the Three Lions in control of the contest.
Argentina responded by piling pressure on the English defence and were rewarded in the 85th minute when Enzo Fernández fired a powerful long-range effort into the bottom corner to restore parity.
With the match appearing destined for extra time, Lionel Messi delivered a precise cross deep into stoppage time, and Lautaro Martínez rose highest to head home the winning goal in the second minute of added time.
The dramatic victory sends Argentina into the FIFA World Cup final, while England’s hopes of winning the title came to a heartbreaking end after conceding twice in the final moments of the match.
