Leo Messi has revived Argentina and put them on course for qualification, which they must reach next game against Poland on Wednesday, but a 2-0 win against Mexico put the ghosts out of Scalon's men's minds after the defeat against Saudi Arabia.
The 7-time winner of the "Golden Ball" was decisive in the triumph over Mexico, in a very balanced challenge and against an opponent very mobilized in defense.
The first half ended goalless in a half where the Mexicans tried to test the Argentine defence, while Scaloni's men proved accurate at the back but not threatening in Mexico's goal.
The second fraction brought a different panorama, with Argentina moving the opponent in the last meters, dominating in every aspect and why shots on goal were the weakest point of Messi and his friends.
In the middle of the second half, in the 64th minute, Messi wore the "suit" of the hero, performing a spell from a distance, a personal goal and a goal "Alla" Messi, with the number 10 who was not only released personally, but it changed the whole mentality of the team.
"Pleshti" scored the second goal in this World Cup and the eighth in his career, equaling the legend Diego Armando Maradona, but also his eternal rival, Cristiano Ronaldo.
1-0 and the Mexicans tried to respond but found it difficult, with Argentina trying to counter-attack, but the second goal came from a gem of talent Enzo Fernandez.
The Benfica footballer scored in the 87th minute, sealing the match, while for him it was a goal to be placed in the "frame", as it was the first goal with the representative in game number five for him.
In the end, nothing changed in the result, but in the ranking yes. Argentina are now catapulted into second place in Group C with 3 points, one behind leaders Poland with 4 and will be their next opponents, while Mexico drop to last place with 1 point, two behind opponents Saudi Arabia next for them.
