Lionel Messi went for it in the air, but goalkeeper Szczęsny stretched to clear the ball. The Polish goalkeeper's bad luck led to one of his hands hitting the face of the PSG star. At first, it seemed like a normal football play, however, the VAR called the referee.
The referee went to the video review monitor and deemed the impact worthy of a penalty. It was a penalty for Argentina and the opportunity to take the lead in the scoreline and secure first place in the group.
But Lionel Messi wasn't accurate. The Argentine took a shot with the inside of his foot at medium height, a place that Wojciech Szczęsny reached without any problem to deny the goal from the thousands of Argentines at Stadium 974 in Doha.
