The defending champions’ victory means they will face Spain, who defeated France on Tuesday, in Sunday’s final in East Rutherford, New Jersey.
Argentina have reached the World Cup final after beating England 2-1 in Atlanta on Wednesday. Once again, Argentina made their comeback near the end of the game, as going into the 85th minute, England were still leading 1-0.
Argentina’s goals were scored by Enzo Fernandez at the 85th minute of the game, while Lautaro Martinez’s goal followed in overtime at the 90+2nd minute.
“I dreamed it, I swear. I told Alexis (Mac Allister) that I was going to score. I told him that I was going to come on and I was going to win it,” Martinez said. “I can tell you this team keeps showing what it’s made of.”
Meanwhile, England’s Anthony’s Gordon had scored at the 55th minute as captain Harry Kane said, “We worked so hard to be here. The lads have given every bit of blood, sweat and tears. To fall short like we did is just gutting”.

The English were hanging on as the game wore on. England goalkeeper Jordon Pickford made vital saves while Mac Allister sent a header off the post as wave after wave of Argentine attacks came.
On the other side, Argentine star Lionel Messi fed the ball to Fernandez to sweep in the equaliser from outside the box in the 85th minute. And two minutes into stoppage time, Messi sent in a cross for Martinez to head in the winner.
The South American team always seem to find a way to come back, as seen in matches against Cape Verde to Egypt.
On Wednesday, England coach Thomas Tuchel’s substitutions seemed to be more intent on holding on, rather than killing the game off with another goal.
“Argentina played with more risk, played with more rhythm, played with the feeling maybe that they have nothing to lose anymore, which freed them up and held us back because we played suddenly with a feeling that we have a lot to lose,” Tuchel said.
Argentina already hold three World Cup titles, having won in 1978, 1986 and, most recently, in 2022, when they defeated France in a penalty shootout.
