The network added that the exit of the Three Lions, led by German coach Thomas Tuchel, marks the continuation of a historical fact, as no team has ever won the World Cup under the leadership of a foreign coach.
The Englishmen scored the opener in the 55th minute through Anthony Gordon, forcing the Three Lions back into their own areas, defending their lead against a flurry of Argentine attacks, before Enzo Fernandez equalized in the 85th minute from Lionel Messi’s cross.
As the match went into two extra-times, Lautaro Martinez grabbed Argentina’s winner in the 90th minute (90+2), heading the Tango Dancers into the final with a dramatic header from Messi’s cross.
With this victory, the Argentine national team continues its campaign to defend the title of world champion, as next Sunday, Tuesday, it will meet its Spanish counterpart in the final of the tournament after defeating La Roja France (2-0) in the other semi-final.
