The super challenge between Argentina and Nigeria ended with a score of 2-1. A complex, tense, balanced and two-faced match. In the first half, Sampaoli's team gave their best, showing off an almost impeccable performance, with Messi on top, scoring the opening goal. As per tradition, Nigeria started quietly but transformed in the second half and so it was again today. After converting the penalty they won, Moses and his teammates came close to doubling their lead on at least three other clear occasions, without managing to get the much-hoped-for goal. And, as happens in the cruelest stories, those who miss too many goals are inexorably forced to suffer, despite the Argentine performance in the second half being a red-stamp. In fact, with just a few seconds to go, a right-footed shot from Rojo sent the Albiceleste to heaven. Sampaoli's men reached the round of XNUMX where they will face France; Nigeria, very unlucky, went out sadly but undeservedly. Maradona was also present at the stadium and, after Rojo's goal, he let himself go in a celebration that was, to say the least, questionable.
