Messi missing the penalty could have been a real disaster, yet Egypt still couldn't hold their two-goal lead.

I'm not convinced Egypt played poorly; Argentina's attack was just relentless and smart in breaking down their defence.

Egypt's coaches should analyse defensive transitions and set pieces to prevent similar second-half collapses in future games.
