The Argentine national team rested for now, as their first goal was obtained, that of qualifying for the Round of 18 in the Russia 2018 World Cup, after defeating Nigeria by 2 goals to 1.

Argentina started it winning but it got complicated with the Nigerian parity, being in the last 5 minutes when Red gave them back their breath and put them back in the World Cup.

Very early, at 14 minutes, the captain albiceleste, Lionel Messi, ahead of Argentina on the scoreboard.

Nasty performance of Mascherano

As deplorable, the performance of the Javier Mascherano containment wheel can be cataloged. Heavy, imprecise and bad in the delivery of the ball were the aspects for which Mascherano highlighted, all negative.

It was as a result of one of his many mistakes that the African draw came. "Masche" held a man inside his own area, an amateur attitude, and the main one sentenced him as a penalty.

Moses was in charge of collecting it at 51 and making his country dream, while Argentina cried and returned to take their bags.

Gallantry of Red

The "Albiceleste" could not shake the spasm caused by the both fitted and could withstand the attacks of the "Green Eagles", which wasted several times to win it.

Thanks to the audacity of Rojo, who this time played the role of central defender, the South American score arrived. Messi overflowed by the right wing and focused on the Nigerian girl area, where Red appeared and right leg, without dropping, spliced and conceded the target of victory for his team.

So, and before many skeptics, without playing well, Argentina is still in the world and got into Octavos ... in the line, yes.

With these three points Argentina climbed from the fourth to the second position and now will have to turn the page of this bad phase and think about its next rival, the France team, against whom will be measured this Saturday at 10 o'clock in the morning in Kazan.
