Exhibit FArgentina 3–2 Egypt — World Cup 2026, Round of 1658

The Goal VAR Took Back

Egypt led 1–0 and had a second: Ziko finished a breakaway with Salah in the build-up. Then came a late VAR review — a shirt-hold on Lisandro Martínez roughly eighty metres and twenty seconds earlier. No goal. Argentina scored three in the final eleven minutes. Egypt's federation filed an official complaint; Mourinho reportedly called it 'daylight robbery'; ESPN's VAR desk ruled it technically correct. The people's court is now in session.
