Argentina booked their place in the World Cup final by securing a dramatic 2-1 comeback victory over England at the Atlanta Stadium.

The match burst into life during the second half when Anthony Gordon broke the deadlock, turning home a precise cross from Morgan Rogers to fire England into an early lead.

Stunned by the opener, the reigning world champions responded with relentless attacking pressure to break down England’s resilient defense.

Midfielder Enzo Fernández grabbed the crucial equalizer in the 84th minute, beating Jordan Pickford with a spectacular long-range strike following a short corner routine.

With momentum firmly on their side, the South American giants completed the turnaround during stoppage time.

Substitute Lautaro Martínez became the hero of the night, converting a dramatic 91st-minute winner assisted by Lionel Messi to break English hearts.
