Colombia vs. Switzerland Live World Cup 2026 Updates, Scores and Highlights

In one of the nerviest games of the World Cup so far, Argentina bested Egypt to book their spot in the quarterfinals.

Despite trailing 2-0 in the second half, Argentina wrestled back into the lead thanks to a heroic late comeback that featured goals from Lionel Messi, Cristian Romero, and Enzo Fernandez.

After Yasser Ibrahim’s header put the Egyptians ahead, Argentina quickly had the chance to equalize from the penalty spot. However, Messi’s failed attempt, one saved by goalkeeper Mostafa Ahmed Shobeir, helped Egypt hold their lead. Messi, for all of his brilliance, has missed both of his penalties this summer and is just 50% from the spot in his entire World Cup career.

Egypt nearly doubled the lead before the hour mark after a clinical counter attack. However, the goal was disallowed after video review due to an Egyptian foul on an adventurous Lisandro Martinez at the other end. Egypt wouldn’t be denied, though, scoring less than 10 minutes later. After Mohamed Salah sprinted forward with the ball on the break, Haissem Hassan found Ziko for the finish. Argentina, though, wrestled a goal back from Romero, found their equalizer from Messi, and capped off their wild comeback with a strike from Fernandez. They turned the game on its head in the blink of an eye, reminding the world of their status as reigning champions.

Thanks to their Round of 16 victory,Argentinawill now take on the winner of Switzerland’s matchup with Colombia on July 11th.
