Poland won 2-0 against Saudi Arabia this Saturday, November 26th, for the 2nd matchday of the Qatar 2022 World Cup, putting more pressure on Argentina, a team that currently has zero points in Group C and will face Mexico in a few hours.
After the Polish victory over the Saudis, many fans wonder what Argentina needs to qualify for the round of 16.
What result does Argentina need to advance to the round of 16 in the Qatar 2022 World Cup?
Poland's victory means that Argentina still depends on itself to reach the next phase of the Qatar 2022 World Cup, even to finish first in Group C. For that, they need two victories.
In the worst case scenario, the 'Scaloneta' could also qualify for the round of 16 as the second in their group.
Possible scenarios for Argentina after Poland's victory
- If Argentina loses, they will be eliminated
- If Argentina draws, in the last match they must beat Poland 2-0 to not depend on the other result. They could even finish first with four points.
- If Argentina wins, in the last match by beating Poland they will qualify, and depending on the goal difference, they could even finish first.
