In the 2026 FIFA World Cup semifinal, Argentina staged a dramatic late comeback to defeat England 2-1 after trailing for much of the second half, driven by two Lionel Messi assists that set up Enzo Fernández's 85th-minute equalizer and Lautaro MartĂnez's stoppage-time winner. Though Argentina ultimately fell to Spain in the final, outlets such as CBS News, FOX Sports, and FIFA highlighted this victory over their longstanding rivals as a defining highlight of the tournament.
