Coupe du monde 2026 : L’Argentine surclasse l’Angleterre et rejoint l’Espagne pour une finale de rêve
The lineup for the 2026 World Cup final is now set. It will pit Spain against Argentina. After La Roja qualified, victorious over France (2-0), the Albiceleste secured their place by overturning England (2-1) tonight, at the end of a thrilling semi-final.
Dominant in possession during the first period, the Argentinians struggled to find a way through a well-organized English defense.
Upon returning from the dressing room, the Three Lions struck first. In the 55th minute, Anthony Gordon met a cross from Morgan Rogers to beat Emiliano Martínez (1-0).
As in their previous outings in this World Cup, Argentina never gave up. Led by an omnipresent Lionel Messi, they launched attack after attack against an English team that made the mistake of retreating.
In the 76th minute, Alexis Mac Allister hit the post, while Jordan Pickford made several crucial saves to preserve England's lead.
But their persistence paid off when the reigning world champions were finally rewarded. In the 85th minute, Enzo Fernández, set up by Lionel Messi, unleashed a powerful shot that left Pickford with no chance (1-1).
Stunned by the equalizer, England finally succumbed in stoppage time. Lautaro Martínez, who had come on for Nicolás Tagliafico, secured the victory for Argentina in the 92nd minute, tapping in a precise cross from Lionel Messi.
Thanks to this stunning victory secured in the very last minutes, Argentina will defend its title against Spain this Sunday in what promises to be an exceptional duel.
