How Argentina Stroll Pass Nigeria
Argentina defeated Nigeria yesterday by two goals to one at the ongoing 2018 FIFA World Cup in Russia
The super eagles were heading through to the last 16 at the expense of Argentina, with four minutes to go off the final group D games, but Marcos rojo's sensational low volley saved Jorge sampaoli's men and set up a show down with France in the next round.
Messi gave Argentina the lead in St Petersburg on Tuesday night, the Barcelona superstar scoring a stunner to bring up the 100th goal of Russia 2018.
But when Javier Mascherano dragged down Leon Balogun in the box shortly after the restart, Victor Moses took up the challenge to roll Nigeria level and within a touching distance of progressing.
Sampaoli sent on attackers Christian Pavon, Maximiliano Meza and Sergio Aguero, but it was defender Marcos Rojo who came up with a quite brilliant winner.
The right wing cross from another defender, Gabriel Mercado, was perfectly placed for Rojo to arrive late and slam home an improbable, unstoppable finish that extend Argentina's stay at the World Cup.
