Lionel Messi did it again for Argentina; humbled Mohammed Salah to emerge FIFA Man of the Match in their Round of 36 match. Messi led the Albiceleste to came from 2 early goals down, fought back to stun Egypt in a dramatic World Cup finish, defending Egypt 3 goals to 2.
For 79 minutes, Egypt controlled the game, 2-0 up. The Pharaohs were 11 minutes from a famous victory. The stadium believed. The fans believed. But football can change in a moment. A stunning collapse from the Pharaohs that mirrored Senegal’s famous meltdown against Belgium. Messi scored, assisted, and once again proved why he’s still the man for the big moments.
