Argentina saved by VAR, Egypt's goal scored to increase the lead

Argentina played against Egypt in the round of 16 at the World Cup. Egypt took the lead in the first half with a goal by Yasser Ibrahim, but Argentina dominated most of the match and failed to equalize. The halftime score was 1:0 in favor of Egypt. In the second half, Egypt scored again through a goal by Zico, making the score 2:0. However, Egypt's second goal was later disallowed due to a foul committed against Argentina's Lionel Messi. Argentina continued to control the game, but they were unable to score and had to settle for a 1:0 deficit at halftime. This would mark a historic moment if Argentina lost the match, as they have never won a World Cup game where they were behind at halftime.
