After half an hour of play and Dibu Martínez looked like the score was at nil, Argentina found themselves with the goal from a corner kick.

Messi executed and found Mac Allister at the near post. The steering wheel swept her back and, at the far post, Licha appeared alone, unmarked.

The defender headed comfortably and, although Domínguez tried to react and remove the ball, he had already gone full.

1-0, joy and lack of control in Houston thanks to Martinez, who scored his first goal in the Argentine National Team in 21 games played.
