Lionel Messi MISSES dubious penalty after lengthy VAR check gifted Argentina the chance to take the lead in the vital Group C meeting... only for Juventus keeper Wojciech Szczesny to save ANOTHER spot kick

Daily Mail | November 30, 2022

Argentina were awarded a dubious penalty after minimal contact from Wojciech Szczesny on Lionel Messi in the first half of Argentina's Group C clash with Poland.

Messi then missed the all-important spot kick, with the former Arsenal goalkeeper saving his second penalty in as many games and continuing his country's incredible record in the World Cup.

Polish goalkeepers have now saved four of their last six penalties at the World Cup, with Szczesny having saved two of those.
