In Zahlen
In the 2026 World Cup semi-final, Argentina defeated England 2-1 to book their place in the final. England, who took the lead with Anthony Gordon's goal in the 55th minute, could not withstand the pressure following the defensive decisions made by head coach Thomas Tuchel. Argentina managed to turn the match around, particularly with the goals they found in the final minutes of the second half.
At the key moment of the match, Lionel Messi's assists were of great importance; first, he set up Enzo Fernandez's stylish long-range goal in the 86th minute, and then he determined the score with Lautaro Martinez's header in stoppage time. After the goal, Tuchel brought off the goalscorer Gordon and the creative player Declan Rice, dropping completely into defense. This strategy led to England's downfall against the reigning world champions Argentina.
With this result, Argentina achieved the success of reaching their fourth consecutive major final and will aim for their second World Cup championship in the final. England, on the other hand, failed to end their World Cup drought, which has lasted since 1966, and will face France in the third-place match. Following the defeat, Tuchel accepted the criticisms and stated that he took responsibility.
