Lionel Messi vs. Mexico _ World Cup 2022 HD 1080

From Mexico's perspective, you've got to move them two centre-halves and run them in for months. But the World Cup party has barely started and tonight Argentina could be turfed out. Do you think they're down for it? They're former coach. Guardado Cat is a team, it's his fifth World Cup too. It is Argentina against Mexico, not just Messi. Something they were unable to do on Tuesday. It's a good touch by Messi. Through the gate, now wide. Xavel is just popping in the middle of that to help him out with the Bessey last night as far as just that little extra yard to put the foot in, to put the press on. The Mexicans are certainly doing that. Mescalet. Against a very resolute, committed Saudi Arabia. That ball trotting up from the back. Messi. He's dropped into space to pick up the ball. Chance for Montiel to deliver. It was sailing over the head of Martinez and there was no-one coming round the back post to try and cap it. Messi squeezed that to get a better Revalverez and eventually getting the cross in. Messi coming in with a header. It was a good leap. Kuna left something on that nail on the side. I suggest that he slipped but he's not going to get away without giving away a free kick in those circumstances. Comes back out. There's not too much height amongst the Argentines. It's Messi. And it's punched over by Ochoa who's then juggled with it but was impeded. Martinez. Messi just ran into. And immediately puts Argentina on the front foot. Messi. Gutierrez comes across. Rodrigo de Paul and Gutierrez has won another foul this time with Messi being the culprit. Just can't get him on the ball now. This is Di Maria again. This is better from Argentina. Messi. And the ball in from Kuna is juggled behind. Near post. Rodriguez is in there too. And Lisandro Martinez. The Argentine supporters is. Messi. Going to be on Gutierrez this time. Then going down. And winning a set piece. And it's a yellow card for Gutierrez. And a free kick in Messi territory. Yeah. He'll be licking his lips now and this is absolutely terrifying. Ochoa. A little bit concerned. Managed to keep out Robert Lewandowski from 12 yards. Can he keep out Messi? Messi has scored. In each of his last five Argentina games. It's Lionel Messi. It's over the bar. And there's absolutely no trouble at all for Guillermo Ochoa. That free kick represented his demeanour on the pitch right now. He almost didn't believe it was going to get on target. He's got everybody's respect and admiration. Guido Rodriguez. He drops in there. Messi. Does he take what he's got? Messi. Trying to shoot. Ochoa. He scores for the sixth consecutive Argentina game. It's the fastest we've seen him run. After he hits it. To those fans behind the goal. It's like Buenos Aires back there. It's the first time. Look at him. Edge of the box. In space. It's the first time they don't close him down quick enough. Sublime touch. Has that eighth World Cup goal. To take him level with the late Diego Maldonado. Messi. Face and harass. But that doesn't really bother him too much. He's used to it. A little bit more stretch now. He's bound to. Messi. Goal away in the midfield. Alvarez looking for Messi. Goalkeeper didn't know whether to come or stay. It's backing towards that near post. Ochoa is already claiming that there should have been an offside flag. Messi is down inside the 18 yard box. Having slipped. Attempting to get that cross. Back across the middle scoring area of the pitch. Alvarez. Messi. Here come Argentina breaking at pace. It was a poor touch. Fernandez. Far too much room. Stunning finish. Recrimination. To the Mexican defence. Celebration. Delight. Amongst the Argentines. They were in turmoil on Tuesday. They finished with a stunner on Saturday. Bad first international goal for Enzo Fernandez. It's a great strike. But it's terrible defending from the Mexicans. Just let Messi have the ball. Messi chasing now. On the far side. Followed by. A third of six added minutes at the end. Messi. He does. Too Messi. Nearly celebrated. The first step on the road to redemption for Argentina. Has been given to them. By Lionel Messi. With Roy Keane. Gary Neville. And Joe Cole next. It's finished. In Lucelle. Argentina 2. Mexico 0.
