Lionel Messi and Enzo Fernandez netted two late goals to dramatically turn the tide in a wild World Cup match, completing a stunning comeback for Argentina after they were two goals down.
Messi unleashed a powerful strike to level the score at 2-2 with only minutes remaining. Shortly after, Chelsea's Enzo Fernandez sealed the victory with a stoppage-time header, snatching a win from the jaws of defeat.
Egypt appeared to be on the verge of a massive upset, leading 2-0 in the 67th minute thanks to Mostafa Ziko's goal. This put the reigning World Cup champions in serious jeopardy of an early exit.
However, a flurry of three goals in just 13 minutes completely flipped the script. Messi, making amends for an earlier penalty miss, found the net with an emphatic finish that crashed in off the crossbar, marking his eighth goal of the tournament and extending his record as the competition's all-time leading scorer.
Fernandez then delivered the decisive blow, expertly directing a header from Lautaro Martinez's pinpoint cross to put Argentina ahead 3-2 in added time. This incredible turnaround raises questions about Argentina's resilience and their potential to go all the way in the tournament.
