Egypt

Egypt led Argentina twice and were undone in the final eleven minutes — Romero, Messi, and Fernández scoring three times without reply to turn a 2-1 deficit into a 3-2 victory for the South Americans. It was a devastating late collapse, the kind that will linger: Ibrahim's early strike and Zico's second-half effort had made the upset look genuinely possible before Argentina's quality told in the cruelest fashion. Egypt's tournament ends at the Round of 16, a creditable exit from a side that navigated Group G without a defeat, only to be undone by a champion's ruthlessness.
