Argentina can still dream. The Albiceleste beat Mexico 2-0 on Matchday 2 of Group C of the 2022 World Cup. The goals were scored by the inevitable Lionel Messi (64th) and Enzo Fernandez (87th).
This victory was imperative after the initial misstep against Saudi Arabia. It was acquired in a certain pain and without particular brilliance at the end of a very broken match for which it was often difficult to be enthusiastic, especially in the first period.
Playing the saviors once again, Messi scored the first goal in the 64th minute, with a tight shot taken from outside the area after a pass from Di Maria. This success changed the scenario of the game. Enzo Fernandez secured the 3 points on a magnificent shot in the 87th, signing his first international success.
Everything will be decided on Wednesday
Mexico, which evolved in a very defensive way, was thus punished for its cautious tactical choice. However, he still has a small hope of qualifying.
The situation in this group C is quite tight. Poland leads with 4 points, ahead of Argentina and Saudi Arabia who have 3 and Mexico (1). On Wednesday, the final day, Poland and Argentina will face off, while Saudi Arabia will face Mexico. The suspense is guaranteed.
