Argentina in the second round

A single point against Argentina would have secured Nigeria a ticket to the second round, but Argentina had no choice but to win.
Even if MK drew, Messi would have had to leave this year's World Cup.
Keeping such an equation in mind, two-time world champions Argentina took to the field against Nigeria in a life-or-death match and left the field with a victory. Argentina won 2-1 today. With this victory, Messi's second round is assured. Messi scored a goal today. Rojo scored another goal for Argentina.
Messi scored his first goal for the team and in the World Cup in Russia in the 14th minute of the match. Argentina went into the break leading 1-0 after failing to score any more goals in the first half.
But Nigeria equalized in the 49th minute of the second half.
Nigeria's Victor Moses scored the goal from the penalty spot. Then in the 86th minute, Marcos Rojo scored with a great right-footed shot from the left wing after Mercado's cross from the right. His goal delighted the entire gallery, including Argentine fans around the world.
