Poland was saved! Di María's shot that came close to ending in an Olympic goal.

The Argentine national team went to halftime with the desire to have taken the lead in the match against Poland. However, the 'Albiceleste' had several chances to do so, such as a corner kick taken by Ángel Di María, which almost resulted in a 1-0 score, in the clash for the Matchday 3 of Group C of the 2022 Qatar World Cup.

In the 33rd minute, the popular 'Fideo' sought the goal from a set piece. The current Juventus player decided to shoot at the goal, while his teammates waited in the area. The ball was heading for the goal and the goalkeeper Wojciech Szczesny prevented the goal from happening.

Shortly after that goal opportunity, Argentina had a new chance. After the referee reviewed an action on the VAR screen, he decided to award a penalty. Lionel Messi, the fouled player, shot and Szczesny, in a masterful manner, saved it.

Argentina came into this game after defeating Mexico 2-0, with goals from Lionel Messi and Enzo Fernández. Meanwhile, Poland did it after imposing themselves by the same score against Saudi Arabia, with goals from Piotr Zielinski and Robert Lewandowski.

Who would be Argentina's rival?
