When it seemed like everything would end in a draw in Argentina vs. Mexico, Lionel Messi appeared to score the 1-0. The 'Pulga' scored the opening goal that allowed Albiceleste to secure a 2-0 victory and stay alive in Group C of the Qatar 2022 World Cup.
The play started in the 63rd minute when Angel Di María arrived from the right flank and, after seeing Lionel Messi unmarked, he passed him the ball. Lionel Messi advanced to the edge of the box and took a low right-footed shot to the lower left corner of goalkeeper Guillermo Ochoa.
Despite the great stretch by the Mexican goalkeeper, the ball went into the back of the net and unleashed the joy of the 'Pulga' and the Albiceleste fans who attended the Lusail Stadium. With this victory, the team led by Lionel Scaloni is in second place with 3 points and surpasses Saudi Arabia on goal difference.
