Argentina rallied to beat Egypt 3-2 in the World Cup 2026 round of 16, with Enzo Fernandez scoring the decisive goal to send the defending champions into the quarterfinals. It was the Chelsea midfielder's first goal in the 2026 edition and his second World Cup goal, after he had previously scored against Meksiko at the 2022 tournament in Qatar. Speaking to FIFA, Enzo said he had waited about three years for that moment since his last World Cup goal. He also said Argentina's comeback came from the hard work of the squad and coaching staff. In the quarterfinals, Argentina will face the winner of Colombia against Swiss.
