Argentina vs England Live FIFA World Cup 2026: Gordon Strikes for England

England grabbed a crucial 1-0 lead over Argentina in the second half of the ongoing FIFA World Cup semi-final, thanks to a superb strike from Anthony Gordon. After a goalless first half, the English side finally found the breakthrough with a well-worked move that left the Argentine defence with little chance to recover.

England had looked the more threatening team throughout the contest, creating several attacking opportunities before the interval. Their persistence eventually paid off when Gordon calmly finished to put his side in front and bring them a step closer to the World Cup final.

Argentina, who had entered the match with an unbeaten record in the tournament, struggled to match England's intensity. Lionel Messi and the Argentine attack found it difficult to create clear-cut chances against England's disciplined defensive setup.

With more than half an hour still to play, Argentina now face the challenge of finding an equalizer to keep their World Cup hopes alive. On the other hand, England are looking more determined to score another after getting the first breakthrough.
