Lautaro Martínez scored the winning goal in stoppage time, completing the comeback. Following the match, England manager Thomas Tuchel faced criticism for his tactical decisions, particularly for making defensive substitutions after taking the lead. Tuchel stated, "Disappointed. We were so close, but we got so passive after we scored." England captain Harry Kane expressed his disappointment, saying, "I’m gutted for the team, the staff, the fans." Argentina's victory was marred by controversy as players displayed a political banner referencing the Falkland Islands, which could lead to FIFA sanctions.
