Argentina came from behind to defeat Egypt 3-2 in a dramatic second-half turnaround, securing their place in the quarter-finals of the 2026 World Cup. The victory matters because it keeps one of the tournament favourites on course in the knockout stages, despite a performance that saw them briefly staring at an early exit.
Argentina endured a significant scare before mounting what the BBC described as a scarcely believable comeback to overturn the deficit and break Egyptian hearts. The full match highlights are available via BBC Sport, though the video is accessible to UK users only.
In short
- Argentina beat Egypt 3-2 to reach the World Cup quarter-finals.
- A late second-half comeback overturned Egypt's lead.
