France 4 x 3 Argentina ● 2018 World Cup Extended Goals & Highlights HD

Marcos Arrojo. Messi, by the way, is one of five Argentina players within well and yellow card are picking up a suspension so could miss the quarterfinal if things were to go awry today. A shootout between two of the world's great strikers. Antoine Griezmann who's declared he's staying with Atletico Madrid despite all the speculation of a move to Barcelona where he might have been playing with this man, Lionel Messi, but that won't be. Messi who's never scored yet, remarkably, in the knockout stages of the World Cup in seven games. That really is extraordinary but neither has Cristiano Ronaldo. France to get us underway. I wonder if he's going to take a first touch there which would have taken him across the defender but he chose not to do that and it all comes to nothing. Mbappe now running at the heart of that Argentina defence and there will be a free kick here. Some 25 yards out. It's Griezmann, it's good, it's very good and it rattles the crossbar which is still shattering from that. For him but all through his career he's managed to defy those plans. Mbappe really has got a turn of pace. He's showing here, look at this, from Mbappe's howl back there. Hang on a penalty. It's a penalty for France. The Iranian referee was in no doubt and there's a yellow card as well. It is only yellow. Argentina complain but they could not cope there with the searing pace of Kylian Mbappe. Well, this is one of the great pieces of play of this World Cup. This solo run. What has he covered? 70 metres there. Well, maybe the first. First blood France. 1-0. Griezmann strikes again and it's the early breakthrough they were looking for in the 13th minute. And of course in Barcelona practice matches but hang on a minute here. Mbappe's got him behind again here now. Has he fouled another time there? Right on the edge. Yellow card for the defender. That was another close run thing. They just can't cope with Mbappe. Going to take something special to get that up and down from there. It's Pogba who could have a key. That one deflects on the Rano. Into the channel. It's good goalkeeping. Well played by Hugo Lloris to Danai Perez. Full of clever movement. Very clever movement. He's got away from Rojo. Couldn't come right across the face of goal. They're claiming a handball here. It was Mercado's run. He thinks the ball's handled. Let's see if he's right. He's the only one claiming it. Well, Umtiti's hand. Cavar again. Fizzed across the face of goal. Field eating up the ground. Mbappe. This time pressure on the ball. Pogba. And Serrano's extremely muscular challenge on him. And just Conte won it as he often does. Otamendi was caught a bit late there by Giroud for me. Should be Argentina's free kick. Both players down injured. Nobody holding back. So the Otamendi got there first. And then he felt the studs. Now he's making a run. Now it is Messi going inside the penalty area and going down in the penalty area. No appeal. Not that time. But there was that little darting run. And it didn't. Lovely play. Griezmann. Cavar. Griezmann. Giroud. Attacking that near post. Looking for a spectacular header. It's good work done. It's Nicolás Tagliafico. Eva Banega. Di Maria. Oh, what a goal! It's Ángel Di with the sweetest of strikes. Absolute bedlam among those Argentina fans. Nothing Hugo Lloris could do about it. In the back, in it. Messi nearly intercepts it. Now Serrano does pick up a yellow card. Things tend to happen. Here's Mbappe. And I wonder if this one could go all the way. It's certainly gone to halfway. It's been intriguing. Including his old teammate Christophe Dugarry who said his team lacks mental strength and character. Argentina in their famous. Messi must feel a bit like that sometimes. Di Maria was looking to weave his magic. Banega takes it. Goes a long way. Comes out to Messi. On that famous left foot. Deflected and in! This is just amazing stuff. Messi scores in the knockout rounds of the World Cup for the first time. If they're going to credit him with the goal. It did take a big deflection on the way. Argentina and those fans do not care. It's an extraordinary turnaround here. Away goes Mbappe. And they're mob-handed in stopping him. He goes down. There's another card going to be administered for one of the posse who blocked his way. Titi lays it forward. Griezmann. There's a mistake here. Griezmann can get in. He couldn't quite direct it goalwards at the end of it. Oh Argentina there. Very nearly. Hit the softest drug button. What were they thinking here? The youngest squad at the tournament. And Argentina with the oldest squad of those who've stayed in so far. Pavard! Oh! How about that! Glorious! Borjama! Pavard! Puts France level in what is turning out to be a pretty astonishing game. He couldn't even have dreamt that. It was just sensational. Messi can't believe it. I don't suppose Pavard can really. It's right back Euro 2016. Pogba. Nice ball. Hernandez. On the turn there was Metuidi. And Mbappe! Yes! France in this seesaw game. 3-2 up. The wonder boys got two of them. A desolate Lionel Messi. Just a roller coaster ride of emotions in Kazan. Just one of course for Mbappe. He was very much a striker on. Aguero who was openly critical of the coach. Got a couple when France won here in Russia in a friendly a few months ago. Metuidi. Good ball. Giroud. Helped on here. Mbappe! He's got another one! Now France really are in control. Beautifully set up by France. Wattas still got it. Found a good ball as well. Giroud. Starting to look like open season. Another lovely ball at Giroud again. De Maria to cut it back. Pavard gets a yellow card now. Three against two. Can they get this right? Mbappe! Métis still have a say. Métis deflected but right into it. Cuts that out. Fakirs come on. Messi. Running at that defence. Still Messi! Well you'd have backed him there. But in the end it was a miss hit. Aguero! De Maria. Deep cross. Was there a push in there? Otamendi is claiming there was. Referee said no. Let's get on with it. Messi again. And Argentina have another one! Hang on a minute. Sergio Aguero. 4-3. Maybe this isn't done just yet. Pogba. Otamendi might be in trouble for that. He hammered the ball into the opponent on the floor. That's been seen as deliberate. And Otamendi, he would miss the next game. Giroud's got one as well by the look of it. As it all explodes. Then Mikado's getting involved with MTT. Turns it round the corner. There still might be something. Pounces across the face of the goal. Argentina very, very nearly. But the whistle has gone. And France are into the quarter finals. What a match here. An epic game between two of the biggest names. END CREDITS
