Argentina rallies from 0-2 to beat Egypt 3-2 and reach quarterfinals

Argentina came from 0-2 down to beat Egypt 3-2 in their 2026 FIFA World Cup Round of 16 match on July 7, advancing to the quarter-finals after three late goals. Egypt led through Yasser Ibrahim in the 15th minute and Mostafa Zico in the 67th before Cristian Romero scored in the 79th minute, Lionel Messi leveled from the penalty spot four minutes later, and Enzo Fernández headed in the stoppage-time winner. Fernández’s goal was also the 3,000th in men’s World Cup history. Argentina will face Switzerland on July 11 in Kansas City after Switzerland beat Colombia in a penalty shootout. The result also spilled into crypto markets, with Argentina’s $ARG fan token on the Chiliz ecosystem rising about 6% to around $0.23 as trading volume increased after the comeback.
