Julian Alvarez has become the second Manchester City player to reach the World Cup quarter-final. A slender 2-1 victory over Australia saw Argentina progress at the Ahmad bin Ali Stadium.
Superstar Lionel Messi opened the scoring on 35 minutes - taking him joint-top of the goalscoring charts in Qatar. Alvarez then capitalised on a mistake from goalkeeper Mathew Ryan to double his side's advantage.
However, just moments after the City striker was replaced by Lautaro Martinez, the underdogs were offered a glimmer of hope. Craig Goodwin's long-range effort took a wicked deflection to ensure a nervy finish.
