Defending champions Argentina produced a stunning late comeback, scoring three goals in the final 11 minutes to beat Egypt 3-2 and book their place in the FIFA World Cup quarter-finals.
Egypt looked set for one of the biggest upsets of the tournament after Yasser Ibrahim’s first-half header and Mostafa Zico’s second-half strike gave them a 2-0 lead.
But Argentina fought back through Cristian Romero in the 79th minute before Lionel Messi levelled four minutes later with a powerful finish after earlier seeing his penalty saved by goalkeeper Mostafa Shobeir.
With stoppage time looming, Enzo Fernandez headed home Lautaro Martinez’s cross three minutes into added time to complete a remarkable turnaround.
Argentina will now face either Switzerland or Colombia in the quarter-finals in Kansas.
