Argentina make stunning comeback to reach second consecutive final

Despite trailing by a goal from the 55th minute against England, Argentina did not give up. 

They showed character, created chances and beat England goalkeeper Jordan Pickford twice, despite his fine form. And in the end, Argentina won 2:1 in the semifinal played in Atlanta.  

Lionel Messi was once again at the center of attention with two assists. For the 1:1, Messi assisted Enzo Fernandez's superb goal in the 85th minute, and then sent in a wonderful cross for Lautaro Martinez, who scored in the 92nd minute. 

Anthony Gordon scored for the English in the 55th minute. 

With this win, Argentina advances to its second consecutive final and has the chance to defend the trophy.

Previously, only Brazil and Italy have defended the World Cup trophy, but a long time ago.

Now Argentina has this opportunity, having also triumphed at the 2022 World Cup, which was held in Qatar.

In the final, Argentina will face Spain on Sunday in New Jersey. 

The final kicks off at 21:00. Spain eliminated France after an extraordinary performance. 

France and England will play for third place on Saturday at 23:00.
