Argentina stun England in pulsating World Cup semi-final

Argentina are into the World Cup final after coming from behind to stun England at Atlanta Stadium on Thursday morning (AEST).

England went 1-0 up at the 55-minute mark when Morgan Rodgers played a beautiful ball which Anthony Gordon pounced on and put it into the net a metre out from goal.

Goalkeeper Jordan Pickford then managed to help England maintain their lead just before the drinks break with a brilliant diving save after a dangerous header from Argentina’s Nico Gonzales.

But by this stage Argentina were surging and at the 85-minute mark Enzo Fernandez fired an exquisite, long-range ball into the goal to finally level the scores.

There were warning signs everywhere for England’s defence and it cracked open again at the 90-minute mark when Lautauro Martinez found the net with powerful header, giving his team a 2-1 victory which they maintained to the end.

Argentina will now play Spain in the Sunday’s final at the MetLife Stadium in New Jersey while England will head to Miami for a third-place playoff against France on Saturday.
