Argentina produced a sensational late turnaround to beat Egypt 3-2 in the World Cup Round of 16. Trailing 2-0 with just over ten minutes left, the South Americans scored three times in a frantic finale to snatch victory.
Egypt had taken control with a goal on 15 minutes and doubled their lead on 67 minutes, leaving Argentina staring at elimination. The comeback began in the 79th minute when Argentina pulled one back, then levelled through a quick second on 83 minutes. The winner came right at the death, in the 90th minute, sparking wild celebrations.
The statistics paint a clear picture of Argentine dominance: they had 64% possession, 19 total shots to Egypt's five, and an expected goals tally of 2.90 against 0.97. Yet they needed a remarkable late surge to overcome a resilient Egyptian side who had taken their two big chances clinically.
