In the Pesos v Pounds FIFA World Cup derby. After all the glamour and hype of pregame, there was 96 plus minutes of nail biting madness. Lore around the match was always about the Hand of God, whether Lionel Messi’s World Cup win four years ago was a fluke and so many other subplots.
But as Andres Messi has proved all his career, he is nowhere near what a fluke describes. Dragging his team to the finish line after being offered space by Thomas Tuchel substitutions in a bid to stifle Argetina after scoring.
Anthony Gordon would be extremely pleased with his well taken goal but the passiveness of the following thirty minutes which allowed Enzo Fernandez to score a belter and Lautaro Martinez to score a hair raising winner.
Lionel Messi now looks toward back to back finals and could possibly try to win it again.
