Both Argentina and England were physically strong. Both teams spent the first half fouling each other more than they did with the ball. England took the lead in the 55th minute through Anthony Gordon. He scored from a pass by Morgan Rodgers. England's poor strategy was to defend that one-goal lead. Argentina, trailing by one goal, then attacked England with air balls. Enzo Fernandez equalized for Argentina five minutes from time. He scored from outside the penalty box after a pass from captain Lionel Messi. Argentina won the match with a goal scored by Lautaro Martinez in the second minute of injury time. He came on in the 81st minute and headed in a cross from Lionel Messi.
