Argentina unexpectedly found themselves chasing the score right at the start of the playoffs.
Details: In their World Cup round of 16 clash against Egypt, the Argentine national team conceded first—a situation they hadn't faced since the 2018 World Cup.
Just minutes ago, Ibrahim Yasser found the net, putting Egypt ahead and forcing the reigning world champions to instantly adapt their game plan on the fly.
It's worth noting that the last time Argentina conceded first in a World Cup match was back in 2018, also in the round of 16, against France—a tournament that ended with their elimination.
Reminder: Argentina made 3 changes to their starting lineup for the clash with Egypt.
