Reigning champions Argentina secured a dramatic 2-1 win against England in a World Cup semifinal, booking their place in the final against Spain. Anthony Gordon gave England an early lead in the 55th minute, but Enzo Fernandez equalized just 30 minutes later. The decisive moment came in stoppage time as Lautaro Martinez headed in a goal from Lionel Messi’s cross, marking a pivotal resurgence for the 39-year-old captain. This achievement could see Argentina become only the second nation in World Cup history—after Brazil in 1962—to claim back-to-back titles. The South Americans now face a Spain side that defeated France 2-0 in Tuesday’s other semifinal.
