Egypt Files Complaint Over Argentina Comeback

Argentina scored three times in the final 11 minutes, including a Lionel Messi equaliser and an Enzo Fernandez stoppage-time winner, to beat Egypt 3-2 and reach the World Cup quarterfinals.

The dramatic turnaround came after the holders had trailed 2-0.

Egypt filed a formal FIFA complaint after the loss, accusing officials of ‘double standards’ and demanding the removal of the referee over a VAR decision that ruled out a crucial Egyptian goal.

Egypt coach Hossam Hassan and several players criticised the officiating after the match.
