World Cup 2026: Argentina beat England, book World Cup final berth

Argentina edged past England 2-1 on Wednesday in a dramatic World Cup semi-final in Atlanta to reach the final for the second time in a row, where they will face Spain. England looked the more threatening side and took a deserved lead through Anthony Gordon in the 55th minute. But instead of fading, Argentina responded with greater urgency, gradually taking control of possession and pushing England deeper into their own half.

The breakthrough finally arrived in the 85th minute when Enzo Fernandez found the equaliser after being picked out by Messi. With England struggling to withstand the mounting pressure, Argentina completed the turnaround in stoppage time as Lautaro Martinez rose to head home another Messi delivery, sealing a memorable victory and sparking wild celebrations among the holders. Messi's vision and composure in the decisive moments once again made the difference as Argentina booked a blockbuster World Cup final.England had been on course to reach their first World Cup final since 1966 after Anthony Gordon fired them into the lead 10 minutes after half-time in the semi-final in front of 68,239 fans in Atlanta. In Argentina celebrations started after country's win. Insane celebrations in Buenos Aires after Messi carried them to another World Cup  final.

Argentina dominated possession but rarely looked comfortable. Their attacks lacked rhythm, Julian Alvarez found little space behind England's defence and Messi was forced to drop deeper and deeper just to get involved.
