Argentina were 2-0 DOWN to Egypt and staring at a World Cup exit — then Lionel Messi dragged the champions back from the dead, sparking three goals in 13 minutes for a stunning 3-2 comeback. Plus: Switzerland knock out Colombia on penalties. Full Round of 16 breakdown below.
For 79 minutes, the unthinkable was on. Yasser Ibrahim and Mostafa Zico had Egypt 2-0 up and dreaming of the quarterfinals — Messi had missed a first-half penalty, and an Egypt goal was chalked off by VAR in a game full of drama. Then came the rescue act: Cristian Romero headed one back in the 79th, Messi levelled in the 83rd for his tournament-leading eighth goal and a record-extending 21st at World Cups, and Enzo Fernandez powered home a stoppage-time header to complete a 3-2 miracle that left Messi in tears. In the day's other tie, Switzerland and Colombia battled to a tense, physical 0-0 across 120 minutes before the Swiss held their nerve to win the shootout 4-3, Ruben Vargas burying the decisive kick. Reigning champions Argentina now meet Switzerland in the quarterfinals. I break down the comeback, the shootout, and what's next.
