Lionel Messi came up with another crucial goal for Argentina in a 2-0 win over Mexico on Saturday that ignited the team's World Cup chances.
Messi took a touch from Angel Di Maria's pass across the face of the area and drove a low shot from 25 meters into the bottom corner in the 64th minute.
The 35-year-old Messi is likely playing in his last World Cup, which is the only major title missing from his collection. For some, Messi needs to win the World Cup to join the ranks of Pele and Maradona as soccer's greatest ever players. Thanks to this win, it could still happen.
