During the first time, Argentina had more authority than Nigeria by rounding a great first half. This partial 1-0 victory was good for Argentina, as Iceland could not beat Croatia, but a controversial foul at the start of the second half ended in Nigeria's draw and in this way, the story changed and Nigeria was second.

Argentina could have made a big difference. A free kick from the "10" that hit the post and a cleared ball from Gonzalo Higuain that ended in the stands could have put Argentina up again on the scoreboard, but then came the relief for the Argentines with that goal with the right leg of Marcos Rojo.

The goals were converted by Lionel Messi and Marcos Rojo (Victor Moses had scored the draw). As Croatia beat Iceland (a match that was being played simultaneously), it was first and the team of Jorge Sampaoli came second in Group D.

In this way, Argentina is among the 16 best in the World Cup and on Saturday will be played against candidates like France.
