Messi’s Magic Sparks Argentina’s Late Comeback to Reach World Cup Final

Argentina booked a second straight World Cup final with a stunning late turnaround against England. Lionel Messi set up both goals as Enzo Fernández and Lautaro Martínez struck in the closing minutes of a 2-1 semi-final win in Atlanta. England took the lead through Anthony Gordon’s 55th-minute finish. But Argentina dominated possession thereafter, and Messi’s perfectly weighted pass saw Fernández level in the 85th minute. In stoppage time, Messi delivered a brilliant cross for substitute Martínez to head home the winner. The defending champions will now face Spain in the final in East Rutherford, aiming for back-to-back World Cup titles.
