Poland Vs Argentina Results
Argentina defeated Poland in the second half to overcome them and go to the round of 16 of the 2022 World Cup. Despite the loss, Poland still advanced as Group C runners-up.
Lionel Messi missed a first-half penalty for Argentina, which was dominant against Poland. Poland only advanced to a draw against the current champions France as a result of Mexico’s 2-1 victory against Saudi Arabia in the section’s other match. Australia and Argentina will square off in the round of 16.
Argentina dominated the first half, with Messi nearly scoring twice in the opening ten minutes. They had trouble producing clear chances, though; Marcos Acuna missed a shot just before the half-hour mark, and Wojciech Szczesny stopped Alvarez from scoring.
After a VAR review, the goalie was found to have fouled Messi from the ensuing cross, but he atoned for his error by diving to his left and raising his right hand to save Messi’s penalty.
Argentina would not have to wait long, though, as Nahuel Molina’s cutback from the right was beautifully turned in by Mac Allister for his first goal in international play 60 seconds into the second session.
Poland attempted to respond quickly, as Kamil Glik dragged a header agonisingly beyond the post. However, Argentina appeared more likely to score next, and they did it in the 68th minute when Alvarez collected a feed from Enzo Fernandez and found the back of the net.
Lacking any offensive threat from Poland, Messi and Alvarez both came close to scoring a third goal. They were fortunate not to concede when Lautaro Martinez was put through by Jakub Kiwior’s errant ball but his effort was missed. In extra time, the centre defender headed Nicolas Tagliafico’s chip off the line, which was critical for Poland.
