Lionel Messi leads Argentina to 3-2 comeback victory over Egypt and spot in World Cup quarterfinals | Rewind 94.3

Lionel Messi powered Argentina’s 3-2 comeback over Egypt to send the defending champions into the World Cup quarterfinals. After falling behind 2-0 with only 11 minutes remaining in regulation on Tuesday, Argentina fought back to overturn the scoreline and finish with a late surge. Enzo Fernández scored the decisive goal in stoppage time, while Cristian Romero struck with a header in the 79th minute to begin the turnaround. Messi then leveled at 2-2 in the 83rd minute, tallying his eighth goal of the tournament and his record-extending 21st World Cup goal. Argentina will face Switzerland next, on Saturday in Kansas City, Missouri. Egypt had taken an early lead through Yasser Ibrahim in the first half and Mostafa Zico in the second, though a video review ruled out another potential goal. Messi also had a penalty saved and another attempt hit the post during the match.
