The GOAT showed up when they needed him the most, and Argentina save their World Cup journey and will qualify for the Round of 16 with a win against Lewandowski's Poland. The job is far from done, but the Albiceleste look more than alive in Qatar.

Six minutes of added time as Argentina are closing in on a giant win.
ARGENTINA DOUBLE THE LEAD!!! A short corner leads to an assist by Messi and a sensational goal by Enzo Fernández who sends a BEAUTY into the top corner! WHAT A GOAL!!!
Less than 10 minutes plus stoppage time to go. Mexico are yet to truly threaten since Messi's goal, and Argentina are managing the game looking for a second on the counter.
Acuña's cross finds Molina on the right side in a great position to double the lead, but the full-back's effort goes over the bar.
Argentina have 20 minutes to hold on to a crucial lead and Mexico will throw everyone forward looking for an equalizer. This should be a cracking finish.
ARGENTINA TAKE THE LEAD!!! Messi receives the ball at the edge of the box and puts it perfectly in the bottom corner with a gorgeous strike! THE GOAT SCORES!
Argentina are beginning to amp up the pressure and getting closer to the Mexico goal, and with a half-hour to play this is really getting tense.
Messi wins a free-kick in a great position and takes it himself, but puts it over the bar and doesn't threaten Ochoa.
Back underway in Al Daayen!
