A little space was all it took for Leo Messi to make the difference in this one, with Enzo Fernández adding one more just minutes before stoppage time, giving Argentina its first points of the World Cup and setting them up for a key showdown against Poland on Wednesday to close out the group stage, ultimately deciding the two teams who will move on the knockout phase. Scaloni’s side finally broke through near midway through the second half after Mexico had worked their defensive scheme to perfection to that point, preventing Argentina from any good looks throughout.
