World Cup

Messi leads argentina's ultimate comeback

By 4All Football Editorial ·
Lionel Messi and Argentina pulled off an incredible comeback against Egypt in the World Cup round of 16. Argentina and Egypt played a five-goal thriller, with Messi's team coming from behind to win 3-2. The match was a tale of two distinct games, with Argentina and Egypt going toe-to-toe in an exciting encounter. In contrast, the match between Switzerland and Colombia was a dour goal-less affair that ended in a penalty shootout. Canada bid farewell to the World Cup as Vancouver hosted the final match on Canadian soil. The city was praised for its welcoming atmosphere and amazing scenery. Egypt jumped out to a 2-0 lead after 67 minutes, but Argentina fought back with goals from Cristian Romero and Messi. Enzo Fernández scored the injury-time winner to seal the comeback. The win keeps Argentina on track to become the first men's team to repeat as World Cup champions since Brazil in 1958 and 1962. Switzerland's penalty shootout win over Colombia means six European teams are through to the quarterfinals, with South America and Africa each having one representative. The moment of the day was a fabulous counter-attack goal in injury time, sealed by Enzo Fernández's header. The stat of the day highlights the need for Argentina manager Lionel Scaloni to discuss penalty-taking with Lionel Messi.
