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!
