Argentina booked their place in the FIFA World Cup 2026 quarterfinals with a dramatic 3-2 victory over Egypt, but the thrilling contest has been overshadowed by controversy after the Egyptian Football Association lodged an official complaint over several refereeing decisions.

The five-goal encounter swung from end to end, with Argentina twice taking the lead before Egypt fought back to level the match. However, a late Argentine winner proved decisive in a fiercely contested last-16 showdown. Egypt's players and coaching staff were left frustrated, claiming a number of key decisions—including penalty appeals and crucial fouls—went against them at pivotal moments.
