At the end, of course, we all know how it ended, Argentina and Leo Messi excelled earlier this evening (Sunday) in the penalty shootout against France, but a few minutes earlier they saved themselves hugely with a foul or rather a huge save by Emiliano Martinez, one of the great heroes of the South American team along The whole World Cup in Qatar.

So what actually happened in the dramatic moment? Well, somewhere in the 123rd minute, just before going to penalties, a long ball from Ibrahima Conte reached Randall Kolo Muani who found himself all alone against Martinez.

However, the French striker, who could have bought his world, kicked with a touch but the Argentinian goalkeeper managed to get down low, send a long leg, and make a phenomenal stop on the kick that would have actually given France the huge comeback and the second World Cup in a row, but like the lyrics of the song, how it ends ? In the end, everyone knows.
