LA PULGA INSPIRES ALBECELLISTE TO FIRST WORLD CUP WIN IN QATAR.

Lionel Messi put up an impressive display as Argentina turned their woes into redemption by beating Mexico 2-0 to put bold  their chance of qualifying to the knockout stages of the world cup. Mexico put up an impressive defensive display in the first 45 , limiting Argentina to only one shot on goal , which arose from a Lionel Messi freeckick off the right wing. It was a game of few chances as Mexico only had a shot on goal , testing Martinez only once from a freeckick as well by Vega. Things would however lighten up in the second half as Angel Di Maria's low cross found Messi outside the area , who connected beautifully on his left foot to bury his effort past Ochoa on 64 minutes to send Argentine fans wild. The game would open up and with Mexico in search of an equalizer , substitute Enzo Fernandez would bend one into the far corner off the left wing as he was teed up by Messi from a short corner situation. Argentina now place themselves in a likely position to qualify as they currently sit second in the group level with Saudi Arabia on 3 points but with a superior goal difference and a  a point behind log leaders Poland on 4 points. Mexico are bottom of the group with a single point but can still manage to qualify if they are to beat Saudi Arabia on the final day and hope that Argentina beat Poland by a greater number of goals than the ones they beat Saudi Arabia by.
