Argentina managed to avoid repeating Brazil’s mistakes in beating the Netherlands, but they did so narrowest means manageable when they didn’t need to.with a boom so loud it echoed, it was a shot heard round the world. In the blink of an eye, the top half of the draw for the 2022 World Cup opened up.
It was a goal the previous 34 minutes hadn’t really deserved. It was certainly a pass from out of nowhere, as unexpected as it was inventive. True enough, Messi had essentially been a spectator for the rest of the half, but that doesn’t really matter when you can pull something like that pass out of your back pocket roughly every half a game or so. There may well be no better assist throughout this entire tournament.
With time running out, a card-happy referee constantly disrupting play and the situation looking unsalvageable the Netherlands went back to basics, lumping the ball forward to five orange-illuminated lighthouses on the edge of the Argentina penalty area in the hope that height would somehow win the day. And it did.
But Cody Gakpo, who had been shaping up as if to shoot, left the ball completely and Teun Koopmeiners passed along the ground for Weghorst to stick out a foot and divert the ball past Martinez and in.
