With a stunning goal from Lionel Messi, Argentina’s chances of winning the FIFA World Cup in 2022 are back on track.
The Albiceleste defeated Mexico 2-0 with two spectacular goals from Lionel Messi and Enzo Fernandez, giving them a chance to leave Group C and advance to the Round of 16.
El Tri’s dreams were severely dashed, and they will enter the final day in the last position in the group.
Argentina’s World Cup hopes were on the verge of failing after a shocking loss to Saudi Arabia, but Messi’s goal in the 64th minute against a strongly competing Mexico squad provided Argentina with the breakthrough they urgently needed.
Benfica playmaker Enzo Fernandez curled a ball into the top right corner to secure the victory as Mexico tried everything they had left to get a late equalizer. Argentina benefited from this goal in terms of goal difference as well.
To have a chance of moving on, Mexico must defeat Saudi Arabia in the group finale by a score of at least three goals.
