Messi retakes top spot in Golden Boot standings
I am still processing what has just happened. Very simple conclusion: there can be no better way to win a game of football and no worse way to lose a game of football
Argentina staged a dramatic 3-2 comeback victory over Egypt in the 2026 FIFA World Cup Round of 16, with Lionel Messi overcoming a missed penalty to score the equalizer and retake the lead in the Golden Boot race with eight goals. [1, 2]
Egypt stunned the defending champions by taking a 2-0 lead through goals from Yasser Ibrahim and Mostafa Zico. However, Argentina mounted a fierce final rally.
Cristian Romero sparked the comeback with a 79th-minute header, Messi smashed in the equalizer in the 83rd minute, and Enzo FernΓ‘ndez headed home the stoppage-time winner to send Argentina to the quarter-finals. [1]
