Doha – Argentina defeated Mexico by two goals and did not give up their pre-quarter hopes in the World Cup. Argentina’s victory was 2-0 when superstar Lionel Messi led from the front by scoring and striking. With the win, Argentina finished second in Group C with three points. Lionel Messi (64) and Enzo Fernandez (87) scored for Argentina.

After a disappointing first half performance, Argentina made a spectacular comeback in the second half. Argentina’s last game in Group C is against Poland at the Stadium 974 on November 30. If they beat Poland with four points, Argentina can secure the pre-quarters. Earlier in 1930, 2006 and 2010, Argentina won the World Cup.

Goalless first half

In the first few minutes of the match, both the teams played as if they were of equal strength. In the 16th minute, the referee raised a yellow card against Mexico’s Nestor Araujo for fouling Argentina’s Marcos Acuna. Argentina dominated possession in the first 26 minutes, but Mexico could not get any shots on the goal post. In the 34th minute, Argentina were awarded a free kick for Alexis Vega’s foul on De Paul. Messi’s shot was aimed at the Mexico post, but goalkeeper Guillermo Ochoa saved it. Ochoa collided with Argentina’s Lisandro Martinez and fell to the ground.

They made their first substitution in the 42nd minute as Mexico’s attacks slowed. Eric Gutierrez replaces midfielder Andre Guardado. Guardado missed Mexico’s first match due to injury. In the 44th minute, Argentina goalkeeper Emiliano Martinez caught the free kick taken by Mexico’s Alexis Vega with a brilliant save. The goal did not come in the five minutes of extra time allowed in the first half.

Second half of Messi magic

The game between Argentina and Mexico was boring at the beginning of the second half. Argentina were awarded a free kick by the referee for bringing down Lionel Messi in the 49th minute of the second half. Messi’s kick went over the bar. In the 55th minute, Argentina’s Angel Di Maria crossed the Mexico defenders and entered the box, but could not hit the post. But in the 64th minute, Argentina scored the first goal through Messi. After the goal fell, more progress came from Argentina in the second half. Argentina took the lead through 21-year-old Enzo Fernandez with three minutes to go.

How did the Argentina goals come about?

Messi’s goal: Messi’s second goal in the Qatar World Cup was scored from Angel Di Maria’s assist. Di Maria’s pass from 25 yards away, Messi’s shot went straight to the net through Mexico’s defenders. The moment the Argentina fans, who until then had been disappointed in the gallery at the Lusail Stadium, erupted.

Enzo Fernandez’s wonder goal: Argentina’s second goal shocked Mexico in the 87th minute. Fernandez takes a pass from Messi and takes a beautiful shot from outside the Mexico box after a few steps. The ball went past the goalie Ochoa and into the top corner of the goal net.
