After the shock loss in the World Cup opener against Saudi Arabia, Argentina had to win against Mexico to have a chance at the round of 16.

They would also do that, even if it was deep inside.

After 0-0 at halftime, the team's big star Lionel Messi stepped forward and saved Argentina.

Halfway into the second half, the 35-year-old fired a shot along the back that found its way in at Guillermo Ochoa's left post.

The goal was the Argentine's eighth ever in the World Cup.

Dream Goal by Enzo Fernandez

In the closing minutes, Benfica midfielder Enzo Fernandez made the final score 2-0 when he drilled the ball into the far post.

With the victory, Argentina now have everything in their own hands before the final group stage match against Poland.
