FIFA World Cup: Argentina messi Goal, enzo fernandez technical goals beat mexico argentina world cup qualifiers

Argentina just produced an incoherent and gimmicky performance against their rival Latin Americans at Doha’s Lusail Stadium.

The first argentina messi goal helped keep their World Cup bid alive in a 2-0 win over Mexico on Saturday.

Defeat to outsiders Saudi Arabia in their opening Group C match in Qatar football sent Argentina into the final stages of the World Cup. Another loss will see them out of the tournament

The Albiceleste just kept that hope alive with a sloppy incident against their fellow Latin Americans at Doha’s Lucille Stadium.

And who else should be the hero for argentina Messi, with a superb low shot from 20 yards in the 64th minute, Enzo Fernandez added a second goal for Argentina three minutes later.

“The first game cost us,” Messi said. “We know we have to win today, another World Cup is starting for us and we knew how to do it.

“It was a tough game to pick ourselves because Mexico have an impeccable record.

“They played fast in the first half but in the second half we gave ourselves a chance to relax.”

Messi’s goals meant he tied the late Diego Maradona with eight World Cup goals and 21 goals for Argentina.

The honor comes as Argentines celebrate the second anniversary of Maradona’s death.
