ATLANTA — Egypt accused the match officials of "injustice" after surrendering a two-goal lead in a dramatic 3-2 defeat to defending champion Argentina in the World Cup Round of 16, with coach Hossam Hassan launching a scathing attack on the refereeing following the final whistle.The Pharaohs appeared on course for one of the biggest upsets of the tournament after taking a 2-0 lead, only for Argentina to score three times in the final 11 minutes, including Enzo Fernández's stoppage-time winner, to book a quarterfinal clash with Switzerland.Tensions boiled over after the decisive goal, with goalkeeping coach Saafan Elsaghir shown a red card and needing to be restrained as he confronted French referee François Letexier. Several Egyptian staff members and players were also booked amid heated protests."We have been treated unfairly today. We have suffered injustice," Hassan said after the match, insisting his side deserved to progress.The Egypt coach questioned a series of refereeing decisions, particularly the video review that disallowed an earlier Egyptian goal for a foul in the build-up, and claimed his team should have been awarded a late penalty after Mohamed Salah went down inside the box."The effect of this outcome goes way beyond the defeat itself because we haven't seen respect or fair play," Hassan said. "A second ball that should have been called as a penalty for us was not even checked by VAR."Hassan, who held his arms in an "X" gesture after the match to signal alleged racial abuse, stopped short of providing further details but maintained his team had been denied fair treatment.Egypt had stunned the defending champions by taking a 2-0 lead through Yasser Ibrahim and Mostafa Zico before Argentina mounted a remarkable comeback. Cristian Romero pulled one back in the 79th minute before Lionel Messi equalized four minutes later with his record-extending 21st World Cup goal. Fernández completed the turnaround two minutes into stoppage time.The winning move began moments after Salah lost possession while driving toward the Argentina penalty area, with Egypt believing the Liverpool forward had been fouled.The defeat ended a historic tournament for Egypt, which had entered the competition without ever winning a World Cup match. The Pharaohs claimed their first World Cup victory in the group stage, reached the knockout rounds for the first time and advanced to the Round of 16 before pushing the reigning champions to the brink.An emotional Hassan said he would not watch the remainder of the tournament."I promise you, from the moment I go back, I'm not going to continue following the matches of this FIFA World Cup," he said. "I am not going to watch, not a single match of this tournament."
