Disappointed England fans left a London fan zone after their team’s 2-1 loss to Argentina in the World Cup semi-final on Wednesday (July 15).

Argentina's Enzo Fernandez and Lautaro Martinez struck late goals to snatch a 2-1 win over the Three Lions to send Lionel Messi's reigning champions into the weekend showpiece match against Spain.

Just when ‌England appeared set for victory after Anthony Gordon's second-half goal, Argentina mounted a relentless late siege and got their reward as Fernandez levelled before Martinez completed the turnaround in the 92nd minute with Messi providing the pass for the equaliser and the cross for the winner.

The result added another unforgettable chapter to one of football's fiercest rivalries, a contest rich in history, ⁠emotion and tension from the opening whistle.

For England, dreams of a first World Cup final since 1966, when they enjoyed their only triumph at the global tournament, were dashed in the closing stages, while Argentina celebrated a comeback that kept alive their quest for another world title.
