Argentina has kept its World Cup hopes alive with a fiercely-fought 2-0 win over Mexico at Lusail Stadium — and, as ever, they had Lionel Messi to thank.
The result — following Poland's 2-0 win over Saudi Arabia earlier in the night — gives La Albiceleste a good chance of going through to the round of 16, despite their opening, stunning loss to Saudi Arabia.
There were nerves aplenty at Lusail Stadium, as Argentina went into the game knowing that defeat would mean a disastrous group stage exit from the World Cup with one match still to come.
