# Soccer: Reigning champions Argentina scored two late goals to defeat England 2-1 in Atlanta and advance to Sunday’s World Cup final against Spain in New Jersey. England took the lead through Anthony Gordon in the second half. Enzo Fernandez equalised in the 85th-minute before substitute Lautaro Martinez headed in a 92nd-minute winner from Lionel Messi’s cross.
