Argentina secured a remarkable 3-2 comeback victory against Egypt in a thrilling World Cup match, with Enzo Fernández scoring the decisive goal in stoppage time.
The Argentinian team had been trailing 2-0 with less than 15 minutes remaining in regulation time. Cristian Romero scored in the 79th minute to narrow the deficit, and Lionel Messi found the equalizer in the 83rd minute. Fernández, a 25-year-old Chelsea forward, then sealed the improbable win with a header two minutes into added time.
The stadium erupted with the dramatic turnaround, and Fernández’s girlfriend, model and content creator Valentina Cervantes, captured her ecstatic reaction on Instagram.
Her initial shared video showed her face amidst the cheering Argentinian fans. A subsequent video displayed Fernández and his teammates celebrating on the field after the final whistle. Fernández was seen looking toward the camera, waving, and blowing a kiss towards Cervantes and their family, who were seated nearby.
Fernández and Cervantes, who have been together since high school and share two children, Olivia and Benjamin, had a brief public separation in 2024 but appear to be reconciled.
This World Cup moment has elevated Fernández's status, marking a significant point in his career.
