Lautaro Martinez scored a dramatic 92nd-minute winner as Lionel Messi inspired Argentina to a stunning comeback, defeating England 2-1 in the World Cup semi-final. Argentina will face European champions Spain in the final. England had taken the lead through Anthony Gordon in the 55th minute, but Argentina rallied with goals from Enzo Fernandez and Martinez to secure their place in the final.

England appeared poised to reach their first World Cup final since 1966 after Gordon's goal, but Argentina's resilience shone through. Messi played a crucial role, setting up Fernandez for an 85th-minute equalizer before delivering a perfect cross for Martinez's header in stoppage time.

This victory keeps Argentina's hopes alive for back-to-back World Cup wins, a feat not achieved since Brazil in 1962. Messi, now set to appear in his third World Cup final, continues to etch his name in football history.

England, despite their disappointment, will play France in the third-place play-off. The match was marked by intense rivalry and several fouls, reflecting the deep-rooted competition between the two nations.

The final will be held at MetLife Stadium in New Jersey, showcasing a clash between the reigning champions of Europe and South America. Argentina's remarkable comeback not only secured their place in the final but also reignited their quest for World Cup glory.
