Miracles exist in the World Cup<\/a> too.<\/p>\n

Down 2-0 late in the second half, Argentina scored three goals in less than 15 minutes to come away with an improbable comeback victory to keep its back-to-back hopes alive<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Argentina had numerous opportunities in the early going, including a Lionel Messi penalty kick in the first half, but nothing could find the back of the net. Egypt, on the other hand, scored twice on just three shots.<\/p>\n

Yasser Ibrahim officially put the defending champs on upset alert by scoring in the 15th minute on a header off a beautiful cross, marking the first time Argentina had trailed in this World Cup.<\/p>\n

Nearly six minutes later, Messi’s left-footed penalty kick was stopped by goalkeeper Mostafa Shobeir, who made plenty of other great saves throughout the first half. Messi also had a free kick from just outside the box in the 31st minute, but it went off the post.<\/p>\n

In the 58th minute, Egypt<\/a> found the back of the net again, but it was called back due to a foul. However, “ball don’t lie,” and nine minutes later, Mostafa Ziko scored on an offensive push, putting Egypt up 2-0.<\/p>\n

Apparently, that was exactly where Argentina wanted Egypt.<\/p>\n

Cristian Romero scored in the 79th minute on a pass from Messi. Five minutes later, Messi found the back of the net himself after Argentina came away with a loose ball in front of Egypt’s net, putting the squad in a frenzy and making him the first person to score in nine consecutive World Cup games.<\/p>\n

In stoppage time, Lautaro Martinez found Enzo Fern\u00e1ndez, who scored with an unsavable header, giving Argentina a 3-2 lead. Egypt’s players and staff were not happy from the bench, and numerous cards were handed out.<\/p>\n

It’s the second time in as many games Argentina avoided a massive upset, as it took extra time to squeak by Cape Verde in the Round of 32.<\/p>\n

Argentina will now face the winner of Colombia and Switzerland<\/a>, which kicks off at 4 p.m. ET.<\/p>\n
