DOHA — Lionel Messi reignited Argentina’s World Cup challenge with a superb goal in a 2-0 win over Mexico on Saturday, Nov. 26, as Kylian Mbappe’s double fired France into the last 16.
The 35-year-old maestro, desperate to crown his glittering career by lifting football’s greatest prize, rifled home a low shot on 64 minutes to put Argentina en route to victory. Mbappe, one of the heroes of France’s march to the 2018 World Cup title, ensured Les Bleus would be the first team into the knockout rounds after popping up with an 86th-minute winner to break Danish hearts at Stadium 974 in Doha.
Mbappe had fired France into the lead on 61 minutes after Denmark’s defence finally buckled following wave after wave of French pressure.
