It's Messi.
The possible check for a penalty kick here.
What's the decision? It is penalty.
Messi for Argentina.
It's simple.
It's easy.
It's Ronda.
And it's a brilliant penalty.
It's very Messi-like, just waiting for the goalkeeper to
make his move and strokes it and nil the corner.
And has
two around him.
Now an opportunity for Saudi Arabia and it is taken.
A blockbuster start to the second half for Saudi Arabia.
Off Romero
and now off Al-Hadid.
Well, that's a brilliant effort
and they've turned it right around.
Space of a few minutes.
Saudi Arabia
grab control of the game.

Vega and Lozano.
One result doesn't change our approach, said Lionel Scaloni,
but now there's a chance to break here.

to completely beat Emi Martinez
off Fernandes.

Still Baich.
What a wonderful run.
Oh, Baich!

To produce another.

That is going to be a free kick.

What a silly challenge.
In.
Kurt Meiners.

Too slow.
Extraordinary.
One hundred and one minutes.

That is incredible.
The whole stadium expected a shot.

From Argentina at last.
