Argentina, which had to win to advance to the round of 16, launched a wave of offensive against Poland, which could have been tied.
When Messi met the gap, he aimed for the goal and poured out 7 shots, but he could not easily open the goal due to goalkeeper Szczesny's divine save, and even the penalty kick was blocked and his head was lowered.
In the second half, Messi's juniors came out as solvers.
Macalister scored the opening goal in the first minute of the second half.
Finished Di Maria's cross with a non-stop shot.
And in the 23rd minute of the second half, Alvarez hit a wedge with a powerful right-footed shot.
Argentina, who won 2-0, overcame the shock of losing the first game and won two consecutive wins to advance to the round of 16 as first place in Group D to meet Australia, second in Group D.

Sometimes things didn't go as planned, but we found the best way, and we did it.]
With Lewandowski unable to land a single shot, Poland helplessly knelt and waited for the results of the match against Mexico and Saudi Arabia, which was ongoing at the same time.
Mexico, who could have advanced to the round of 16 if they had won 3-0, scored two goals first in the early stages of the second half, but Saudi Arabia scored a dramatic comeback goal in the 5th minute of extra time in the second half and sprinkled red pepper powder properly.
The match ended 2-1, and Mexico, who was eliminated from the group stage after 44 years, shed tears even after winning, while Poland cheered as it secured a ticket to the round of 16 after losing and struggling.
Poland will meet France in the Round of 16.
