Commentary
Despite finding themselves two goals down with 11 minutes to go, Argentina responded as champions do to defeat Egypt 3-2 in the last 16! After Ibrahim's first-half header gave Egypt the lead, it looked like it would not be Argentina's day after Messi saw his penalty saved by an inspired Shobeir, who also kept out Mac Allister and Alvarez before half-time. Zico thought he added a second on the counter for Egypt in the second half, but a VAR review disallowed the goal for an earlier foul on Lisandro Martinez. Nevertheless, Zico did get on the scoresheet in the 67th minute after fine work from Hassan on the right wing. However, the comeback started in the 79th minute as Romero headed in from Messi's cross. Messi then scored himself four minutes later, rifling in his first-time strike to set up a tense finale. And it was Fernandez who would provide the decisive moment as he headed into the far corner in the 92nd minute to send Argentina into the quarter-finals. Argentina produced more xG (2.8 to 0.98) and recorded almost four times as many shots (19 to five), but Egypt were incredibly close to pulling off a huge shock in the tournament. Argentina, meanwhile, will face either Switzerland or Colombia in the last eight. That's all from us, goodbye!
