The group C second round of Qatar 2022 World Cup between Argentina & Mexico started with full attacking forces.
Lionel Messi was far from his best, but produced one moment of magic to send Argentina on their way to a much-needed victory over Mexico, another special moment from Enzo Fernandez sealed the crucial 2-0 victory.
His 20-yard strike in the 64th minute proved the crucial moment in the game Argentina needed to win after their opening loss to Saudi Arabia, and then the game was put beyond doubt when Fernandez curled a shot inside the far corner three minutes from time
However, 19 minutes into the second half Messi received a square ball from Angel Di Maria and with his first touch pushed the ball in front of him, giving him the space to drill his second contact low inside the corner giving Guillermo Ochoa no chance.
Messi can also claim an assist for the second goal, though all the credit goes to substitute Fernandez who after a leg-over, turned inside the Mexican defenders closing him down and produced another effort beyond the Mexican stopper.
The victory moves Argentina second in the group with three points, one behind next opponents Poland and above Saudi Arabia on goal difference. Mexico prop up Group C with a solitary point.
TALKING POINT
Not convincing, but something to build on – Argentina still look far from the fluent side which thrashed Italy in the Finalissima at Wembley in the summer but the history of the World Cup is littered by sides who started slowly (albeit rarely with a shock defeat the scale of their defeat to Saudi Arabia) before building as the tournament goes on.
Messi does not look capable of dominating games but he can have moments and he showed this with his crucial goal. Players such as Fernandez and Mac Allister with their willingness to cover ground up and down the field, to go with their quality, will be crucial as for long periods of the game they looked static in possession.
Another substitute Julian Alvarez is a player who stretches the field and makes it hard for defences to just form a barricaded wall across the field 25 yards from goal. Mexico showed so little ambition it is difficult to judge a defence, but Argentina’s does look solid enough to keep them in games – they conceded goals to the only shots taken by Saudi Arabia – and should be good enough to get them the result against Poland to reach the second round. By then, they would hope to have built on their fluency in attack.
