Argentina defender Cristian “Koti” Romero revealed the scenes of the goal scored against Egypt in the 16th round of the 2026 World Cup, emphasizing that his promotion to the front line was not at the behest of coach Lionel Scaloni, but was determined by the circumstances of the game.
Romero scored a crucial goal in Argentina’s comeback against Egypt, after going 2-0 down, to help turn the tide to win (3-2) and qualify for the quarter-finals.
