World Cup holders Argentina came from 2-0 down to beat Egypt in Atlanta
Lionel Messi, who missed an earlier penalty, equalised before late Enzo Fernandes' winner
Egypt, who had a goal disallowed when they were winning 1-0, accuse Fifa of 'fix' and for favouring Messi after exiting tournament.
Argentina were trailing 1-0 when Haissem Hassan brought down Nicolas Tagliafico in the box.
Their talisman stepped up to the spot to level the game - but his effort was saved by Egypt's Mostafa Shobeir.
After firing a penalty wide in Argentina's group stage win over Austria, Messi is now the only player to have failed to convert two or more penalties in a single World Cup tournament (excluding shootouts).

Argentina 3-2 EgyptPlenty of touches for Messi
Lionel Messi recorded 12 touches in the attacking penalty area vs. Egypt.
That's his second-most in a World Cup match after his 13 touches v Poland in 2022.
VAR is perceived to be consistent when it intervenes more often
AR is used in one in every three games in the World Cup, whereas it's just under one in every three in the Premier League.
Perception has changed slightly. In the group stage, people had the idea VAR would be staying out of things. When we got to the knockouts, people are starting to think it isn’t quite so smooth.
Like we see in the Premier League, when you try to have a higher bar on things, it’s far more difficult to get that subjective point. When you have 30 different VARs all trying to have the same subjective bar, managing to do that is nearly impossible.
That’s why it looks better in the Champions League, because you have an intervention every other game and because they get involved in so much, it looks consistent because there is not so much opinion going on.
