Argentina have bounced back with a major 2-0 win over Mexico at the Lusail Stadium.

And it was their star captain Lionel Messi who led the Albiceleste to this incredibly important victory that puts them back in the picture for the World Cup’s Last 16.

Messi opened the scoring with a stunning shot on 64 minutes from the edge of the box that ended up in Guillermo Ochoa’s bottom left corner.

Enzo Fernandez sealed the win with a screamer of his own after 87 minutes as his curling shot from the left hit Ochoa’s top left corner.

Fernandez received the ball from off a short corner and bends it beautifully into the top right corner of the net past Ochoa. A beautiful finish from the 21-year-old that looked to have wrapped this one up for Argentina.

Argentina dominated 58 per cent of possession throughout the encounter.

The Albiceleste registered a total of five shots, two of which were on target.

Mexico, on the other hand, produced four shots but only one of them was on target.

Argentina have therefore climbed off the bottom of the table and are second in Group C.

The Copa America winners are just one point behind Poland, who drew with Mexico and beat Saudi Arabia earlier today.

The Mexicans are now last with only one point, while Saudi Arabia are third with three.
