Argentina Qualified for the round of Sixteen with a bang 💥💥
FIFA World Cup
Finally, after much drama, the Latin-American nation Argentina qualified for the round of sixteen. After losing against Saudi Arabia in the first match it wasn't easy at all. They were unbeaten in 36 matches before the world cup but lost against a lowest ranked team. After this defeat many thoughts this team can't be able to pass the group stage game. But Argentina did this! They qualified for the round of sixteen as group champions 💥
After losing the first match, Lionel Messi promised that they will turn around in the remaining matches. They did just that! After such a loss, it wasn't easy to turn around in the second match. After this loss, the road to the round of sixteen became quite difficult for Argentina.
They faced Mexico in a do-or-die match. The team entered the field with several changes in the team. In that match, they beat Mexico by 2-0 to save the hope of knock-out. The equation was that a win against Poland in the next match would see them progress to the last 16 as group-stage champions. And if you lose, they have to say goodbye to the World Cup.
Poland and Argentina entered the field last night with such an equation in front. Argentina started to control the ball from the beginning in this match of survival. They couldn't score a goal despite attacking one after another. The only obstacle in front of them is the Poland goalkeeper. He also blocked Messi's penalty. As a result, despite playing the first half badly, Argentina wasn't able to score a goal.
Back from the break, the team started attacking one after another. A. Mac Allister scored the goal in the 46th minute of the match by defeating the Polish goalkeeper. He scored from N. Molina's assist to lead the team in the epic match. As a result, after Messi's penalty miss, the team regained life in the new match.
Argentina number nine Julián Álvarez scored a great goal in the 67th minute of the match with an assist from E. Fernández. This goal is a repeat of Brazil's winning hero Casemiro's goal. As a result, Messi's team left the field with a 2-0 goal difference.
AFA - Selección Argentina
As a result of this victory, Argentina became the group champion with two wins in three matches. Robert Lewandowski's Poland qualified for the round of sixteen despite the loss. Their success is behind Mexico on goal difference.
Hope Argentina will continue this form in the knockout matches. They will face Australia next. That should be an easy match for them.
Brother, I can express enough how happy I am for Argentina to win this match and qualify for the next round, it was an amazing night and I can say for sure nothing is stopped them from winning the title.
Your words says you are a pure Argentine supporter 😄. BTW congratulations ✌️
I was sure they will qualify. People just made it dramatic. One of the most easiest group.
Indeed! But they made it hard by losing against Saudi Arabia. That's why people are talking 😄
It’s pretty unreal Argentina still managed to top the group after losing to Saudi Arabia. But then I guess it’s not a big surprise.😅
They showed their class and beat Poland to keep their hopes alive. Argentina played really well particularly in winning the ball back against Poland and for me that was the highlight of the night.
Indeed !
