Former Manchester United midfielder Roy Keane has praised Julian Alvarez's composure after he scored an incredible solo goal to give Argentina a 2-0 lead over Croatia.
The two teams were evenly matched in Lusail until Alvarez left his mark on the game just after the half-hour mark. Manchester City's striker was brought down in a 1v1 situation by Dominik Livakovic on the 34th minute to give Lionel Messi the opportunity to give his country the lead which he proceeded to do.
Alvarez would then take centre stage five minutes later with a moment of which Messi would have been proud of. Having initially won the ball back for his team following a Croatia corner, the 22-year-old received the ball inside his own half.
