Argentina produced one of the most dramatic comebacks of the FIFA World Cup 2026, defeating Egypt 3-2 after trailing 2-0 in their Round of 16 clash. Egypt stunned the defending champions with goals from Yasser Ibrahim and Mostafa Ziko, while Lionel Messi also missed an early penalty. Argentina responded in the final 13 minutes as Cristian Romero headed in from a Messi cross before the captain equalised with a powerful finish. Deep into stoppage time, Enzo Fernandez headed home the winner to complete a remarkable turnaround and send Argentina into the World Cup quarter-finals after an unforgettable contest.
