In the first half, the Egyptians opened the scoring after a corner kick – Yasser El-Hanafi scored. Shortly after, Argentina was awarded a penalty, but the star Lionel Messi failed to beat the goalkeeper. After that, Argentina attacked a lot before the break, but couldn't equalize.

In the second half of the match, Egypt increased their lead to two goals – Mostafa Zika scored. After this, Argentina significantly intensified their pressure. First, Cristian Romero scored one goal after an assist from Messi, and then the captain of the Argentines himself scored with an accurate shot to equalize.

The winning goal in injury time was scored by Enzo Fernández after a cross from Lautaro Martínez. As a result, Argentina won 3:2 and will continue their fight for the title.

    Вітальд Піхарчук, VAR усё дакладна вызначаў. Аргенціна перамагла заслужана.

    Вітальд Піхарчук, не дурыце галавы, усе хады запісаны. Аргентына, падобна, не настройвалася на барацьбу й не ўспрымала суперніка ўсур'ёз. У атацы футбалісты зьбіваліся на індывідуальную гульню, ператрымлівалі мяч, дазвалялі шмат бязглуздых стратаў мяча, падавалася, што ніякага пляну на гульню ім ня ставілі, а напярэдадні матча каманда бавіла час у тамтэйшых корчмах ды бардэлях... У футбол, які б адпавядаў сапраўднаму узроўню каманды, Аргентына згуляла роўна 15 хвілін у канцы гульні, і гэтага было дастаткова. :)
    Тым ня менш, гэта каманда Аргентыны наўрад-ці здольная скласьці канкурэнцыю французам, англічанам, або гішпанцам, але швайцараў ці калумбійцаў павінна прайсьці. Я так лічу.

    Вы же понимаете, что Месси даже не забивал ни разу Узбекистану?! А пенальти это вообще позор!
