Argentina trail Egypt in Round of 16 clash | OneFootball

Oh wow...

Egypt score a second and it's a sensational goal. Salah assist. But it's disallowed for a foul much earlier in the move. How unfortunate.

Argentina 0-1 Egypt

Argentina still struggling...

A free kick from Messi is punched away. They're yet to get going this half.

Argentina 0-1 Egypt

KICK OFF!

We're underway for the second half in Atlanta.

HT: Argentina 0-1 Egypt

WHAT A SAVE! AGAIN!

Julián Alvarez really should level things up from close range but Mostafa Shobeir makes another outstanding stop.

Argentina 0-1 Egypt

DENIED!

A free-kick from distance from Messi appears to be creeping in, but instead strikes the woodwork.

Argentina 0-1 Egypt

WHAT A SAVE!

A dangerous cross into the box and Alexis Mac Allister gets a head to it. His effort looks destined for the back of the net, but Egypt goalkeeper Mostafa Shobeir makes a fantastic reactionary save.

Argentina 0-1 Egypt

Back underway...

Are we in for any more drama?

Pause in play...

The first hydration break of the game. A moment to catch our breath after a lively 10 or so minutes.

Argentina 0-1 Egypt

A moment to forget for Messi...

Messi takes...

AND IT'S SAVED!

Argentina 0-1 Egypt

PENALTY!

Opportunity for Argentina to strike back as Haissem Hassan loses concentration and commits a foul in the box. No doubt from the referee.

Argentina 0-1 Egypt

GOAAAL! EGYPT LEAD!

Egypt corner isn't dealt with by Argentina and in the second phase of play, a cross is delivered and headed into the net by Yasser Ibrahim.

Are we heading towards a shock result?

Argentina 0-1 Egypt

OFFSIDE!

Argentina close to opening the scoring as a ball across the face of goal from Rodrigo De Paul is struck wide by Enzo Fernández.

The flag is eventually raised for offside so it wouldn't have counted anyway.

Argentina 0-0 Egypt

Possible nerves?

Neither side are yet to really get going here. Quite a few misplaced passes from both sets of players in the opening stages.

Argentina 0-0 Egypt

Early scare for Argentina as Enzo Fernández takes a knock to the knee. He goes down momentarily but thankfully doesn't require treatment and is now back on his feet.

Argentina 0-0 Egypt

KICK OFF!

Argentina get things underway in Atlanta.
