Manchester United defender Lisandro Martinez is living up to Nemanja Vidic's high expectations as a centre-back by giving "150 per cent" in every tackle the Argentinian makes.
Martinez was brought into his national side's starting line-up for their vital clash against Mexico on Saturday, after he was left on the bench for the first hour of Argentina's shock 2-1 defeat by Saudi Arabia. Lionel Scaloni's side knew that a defeat to their North American opposition would have seen them crash out at the group phase after just two games.
Lionel Messi produced yet another moment of magic to put those fears to bed, as he scored a sublime goal in the 64th minute. The Paris Saint-Germain star took a touch to control a pass with his left foot before drilling the ball into the bottom corner from 20 yards out past a helpless Guillermo Ochoa in goal for Mexico.
