Enzo Fernandez, on as a second-half substitute, quashed any lingering anxiety when he strode into the box following a short corner to curl beyond goalkeeper Guillermo Ochoa and start an Argentinian party at the scene of their Saudi-inflicted desolation only four days ago.

Messi drew level with Diego Maradona on eight World Cup goals and moved two behind national team record holder Gabriel Batistuta’s haul of 10.

After match Lionel Messi said , “We can’t give up now. We have all the finals to play, we can’t make mistakes. We knew that the people’s response would be like this, I think we complied, we’ve been together for a long time hand”.

The first game cost us, there are many conditioning factors. Even so, they were two isolated plays. We knew that today we had to win, that another World Cup was starting for us, and we knew how to do it”.

“It was a difficult match to get up, because Mexico plays well. We played intensely in the first half and in the second we calmed down and went back to being ourselves.

We all played the game as we had to. We were forced to carry it out and it’s difficult to play in those conditions, but both those who started and those who entered responded. There is another game to go, we accommodate but lack,”Messi added.

“It was important to win, I think that at times, especially in the second half, we went back to being what we are. Now, against Poland, we will try to continue in this way,”Messi said.
