The England national team pulled off a rare comeback at the World Cup: after conceding the opening goal, the team managed to turn the match around and claim victory.
Details: England has now won a World Cup match after going behind for only the second time in their history—the first was in the iconic 1966 final against Germany, which ended 4-2.

This result is special not just for the win itself, but for its historical context. England almost never stages comebacks at the World Cup after an early blow from the opposition.
