Argentina appealed to individualities to equalize the match against France. Griezmann scored at the 13th minute and put the 'bleus' ahead but before the end of the first half, Ángel Di Maria managed to equalize with a superb goal.
The '11' received the ball from Taglafico on the edge of the French area and took a powerful shot at the 41st minute, which beat Hugo Lloris, who despite stretching, could not prevent the angled shot from hitting the net.

The French moved the ball as they pleased, with defensive security, speed in transitions, and good volume of play. Everything, absolutely everything, that Jorge Sampaoli feared the most.
Didier Deschamps got his way by neutralizing Messi with a good job in midfield from Kanté and Matuidi. The superstar barely appeared without much risk and Argentina suffered as a result.
