Match Events
2' GOAL! Argentina 1-0 Mexico (Icardi)
GOOOALLLL!!! That certainly didn't take long! Lamela played Icardi into the box with a perfectly weighted through-ball and the Inter man scored with a lovely curling left-footed effort that left Corona grasping at air! Argentina 1-0 Mexico.
18' CHANCE! Lamela's shot wide out
Another quick counter-attack from Argentina as Icardi finds Lamela running on the right wing! The Tottenham man cuts inside and fires a curling left-footed effort towards goal... but it flies past the far post for a goal kick.
68' SAVE! Fine stop from Gazzaniga
CLOSE! Aguirre played a great cross to Gallardo who was lurking at the far post! The latter put power behind his header but Gazzaniga was able to tip the effort behind for a corner. That was Mexico's first shot on target today!
87' GOAL! Argentina 2-0 Mexico (Dybala)
GOOOALLLL!!! Giovanni broke at pace down the left and waited to make sure Dybala was onside before slotting the ball between the last defender and the striker. Dybala kept his shot on the floor to surely secure a win for the Albiceleste today!

Believe it or not,Argentina are a better team without Messi! They are winning now because they play as a team..but with Messi's presence,they would all depend on him which mounts too much pressure on the man!

Finally! Dybala and Icardi have scored for Argentina. It was not an exciting match but it is clear that we are moving off the concept of depending on one player. I am getting use to Argentina winning and not conceding now and I hope we can continue this. Looking forward to next summer where Messi will play with a complete team. Vamos Argentina

Argentina can still win games without Messi he is not the only player there who knows how to put the ball in the back of the net.
