Argentina Stuns England to Reach Final | Sacramento News

Argentina stunned England with a last-minute thriller in Atlanta, coming from behind to win 2-1 thanks to Enzo Fernández’s 85th-minute rocket and Lautaro Martínez’s stoppage-time header — assisted by Lionel Messi. The victory sends Argentina to their first World Cup final since 1986, where they’ll face Spain in a historic showdown that could give Messi his second consecutive title — a feat last achieved by Brazil in the 1960s. At 39, Messi continues his legendary run with eight goals in the tournament. England, chasing their first World Cup since 1966, suffered a crushing defeat in a fiery, physical match steeped in decades of rivalry — including the infamous 1986 handball and lingering tensions over Falklands flags. Argentina’s fans erupted in joy, while England’s were left heartbroken after holding the lead for most of the game.
