🇦🇷 Argentina pulled off an incredible comeback and reached the final of the 2026 World Cup!

The second semi-final of the 2026 World Cup delivered fans real football drama. On July 15, the Argentina squad secured a comeback victory over England with a score of 2:1, clinching it in the final minutes of the match. Lionel Scaloni’s team continues to defend the championship title and is already preparing for the final showdown against the Spain national team.

The first half unfolded as a tense tactical battle. Both teams acted very cautiously, not allowing the opponent to create dangerous moments. The main struggle took place in midfield, and the goalkeepers were hardly involved.

After halftime, the tempo increased significantly. In the 55th minute, Morgan Rogers delivered a brilliant pass into the penalty area, and Anthony Gordon opened the scoring with a powerful shot. England gained a comfortable advantage, but they couldn’t hold on to it.

Argentina immediately seized initiative and began methodically putting pressure on the opponent. Alexis Mac Allister was very close to scoring, but Jordan Pickford saved England after a dangerous header. With every passing minute, the pressure from the world champions only grew.

The turning point came at the end of the match. In the 86th minute, after a pass from Lionel Messi, Enzo Fernandez equalized with a precise shot from outside the penalty area. It seemed the teams would decide the finalist in extra time, but Argentina had other plans.

Already in the 90+2nd minute, Argentina’s captain Lionel Messi delivered a perfect cross into the penalty area, where Lautaro Martínez sent the ball into the net with a header. This goal gave Argentina the win and another World Cup final.

Special attention should be paid to Lionel Messi’s performance. Despite the intense pressing from the English defense, he became the main architect of the victory, providing two assists exactly when the team needed them most.
