Lionel Messi's Goal in Argentina's Dramatic World Cup Win Inspires Epic Broadcast Call in Video

Lionel Messi further cemented his legacy with an iconic performance in Argentina's 3-2 comeback win over Egypt in the FIFA World Cup Round of 16 on Tuesday.

Messi's game-tying goal in the 84th minute inspired an epic call on Telemundo's broadcast:

Argentina trailed 2-0 against Egypt before Messi ignited a furious comeback. He recorded an assist on a cross in the 79th minute before finding the back of the net himself just five minutes later to level the score. Enzo Fernández scored the go-ahead goal in the 92nd minute to keep Argentina's quest for a second straight World Cup title alive.

Messi was visibly emotional as he and his teammates celebrated Tuesday's victory. He had missed a penalty kick earlier in the match, but his team showed incredible resiliency to avoid elimination.

"This is a phenomenal group that never gives up," Fernández said after the match, per ESPN. "Four years have passed since Qatar, and we've come to enjoy another World Cup -- and we want to win it again. That's what we're aiming for."

Messi's goal gives him eight in this year's World Cup, putting him one clear of France's Kylian Mbappé and Norway's Erling Haaland in the race for the Golden Boot.

Argentina will now move on to the quarterfinals on Saturday to face the winner of Tuesday night's match between Switzerland and Colombia.
