England's Early Lead
Anthony Gordon put England ahead in the 55th minute, finishing off a move set up by M. Rogers. It was a promising position for the hosts, who looked to be controlling the semi-final at the Mercedes-Benz Stadium in Atlanta.
Argentina's Comeback
The game turned in Argentina's favour in the final quarter. Enzo Fernandez levelled matters in the 85th minute, with Lionel Messi providing the assist. That goal shifted momentum decisively.
Argentina then struck the killer blow in stoppage time. Lautaro Martinez scored in the 90th minute, again from a Messi assist, to seal a 2-1 win and send Argentina through to the World Cup final.
The match was decided by Argentina's clinical finishing in the closing stages. England had the lead but could not hold it against a side that found its rhythm when it mattered most.
