Argentina produced a dramatic comeback to defeat Egypt 3-2 in the FIFA World Cup 2026 Round of 16 after trailing 2-0 in Atlanta. Lionel Messi missed an early penalty but sparked the fightback by assisting Cristian Romero's goal before scoring the equaliser in the second half. Egypt looked set for a famous victory after goals from Yasser Ibrahim and Mostafa Ziko, while goalkeeper Mostafa Shobeir made several outstanding saves. However, Enzo Fernandez headed home the winner in stoppage time to complete Argentina's remarkable turnaround and book the defending champions a place in the World Cup quarter-finals.
