Argentina defeats England 2-1 to reach World Cup final

Argentina overturned a 1‑0 deficit against England in the World Cup semi‑final at the Mercedes‑Benz Stadium in Atlanta. England took the lead in the 55th minute when Anthony Gordon finished a cross from Morgan Rogers. Argentina equalised in the 85th minute when Enzo Fernández scored a long‑range strike after a corner from Lionel Messi. Two minutes later Lautaro Martínez headed home a Messi‑provided cross to win the match 2‑1 in stoppage time, sending the defending champions to a final against Spain at MetLife Stadium in New Jersey. Messi contributed two assists and covered the most distance of any player in the game, highlighting his pivotal role. The dramatic comeback sparked heightened police presence after the match to keep Argentine and English supporters apart. Post‑match commentary focused on England coach Thomas Tuchel’s tactical choices and the historic rivalry between the two nations, recalling Maradona’s 1986 victory over England. Argentina now eyes back‑to‑back titles, while England reflects on a missed opportunity after a 60‑year wait for a final.
