Tuesday, July 7 round-up — Messi flips Egypt, Kobel writes Switzerland into history
The Round of 16 closes on two dramatic scripts. In Atlanta, Argentina trailed Egypt 2-0 with eleven minutes to go… and won 3-2, Messi orchestrating, Enzo Fernández the executioner in stoppage time. In Vancouver, Colombia dominated but ran into an unbeatable Gregor Kobel: 0-0, then 4-3 on penalties, and Switzerland reach the quarters for the first time since 1954. The quarter-final line-up is now complete.
