Overview
- Argentina overturned a 1-0 deficit to win 2-1, with Enzo Fernández equalising in the 85th minute and Lautaro Martínez heading the stoppage-time winner in the 92nd minute.
- Lionel Messi supplied the key final‑third contributions, creating the move for Fernández's long-range strike and swinging in the cross for Martínez's winner.
- England had taken the lead about ten minutes into the second half when Anthony Gordon converted a Morgan Rogers cross, but the side could not hold the lead despite nine minutes of added time.
- Senior public figures and team leaders expressed deep disappointment, with the Prince of Wales and Labour leader Sir Keir Starmer posting that they were 'gutted' and captain Harry Kane telling the BBC he was 'gutted' for the team and fans.
- The result eliminates England from the tournament and sends defending champions Argentina to face Spain in the final in New Jersey as they bid to retain the World Cup.
