FIFA 2022: Messi Scores! Argentina Stay Alive After Mexico Triumph

Lusail (Qatar): Argentina defeated Mexico (2-0) in a Group C encounter in the ongoing FIFA World Cup on Sunday at the Lusail Stadium in Qatar. This was a crucial game for Argentina after the Saudi Arabia shocker.

No goals were scored in the first hour of the game as Mexico showed great fight and kept Argentina at bay for the majority of the game.

However, it was Lionel Messi who opened the scoring by netting a beautiful goal in the 64th minute of the game. Three minutes before the end of regulated time, Enzo Fernandez, a second-half substitute, scored another goal to confirm Argentina’s victory.

As a result of this win, Argentina’s World Cup hopes to stay alive.

Notably, Argentina were put into a precarious position after suffering a defeat at the hands of a meek Saudi Arabia.
