What Emiliano Martinez did in Argentina World Cup final win to play penalty mind games vs France

Emiliano Martinez produced another moment of magic in a penalty shoot-out that helped Argentina win the 2022 World Cup final over France on penalties after a 3-3 draw in 120 minutes.

Lionel Messi scored from the penalty spot in the 23rd minute after Angel Di Maria was felled by Ousmane Dembele. Argentina then doubled their lead in the 36th minute when Di Maria converted a delightful pass by Alexis Mac Allister.

Didier Deschamps made a double substitution five minutes before half time with Olivier Giroud and Ousmane Dembele replaced by Marcus Thuram and Randal Kolo Muani. The latter went on to have a huge impact winning a penalty which was converted by Kylian Mbappe with ten minutes to spare.
