Argentina, needing to win at all costs to progress, dominate the early proceedings following kick-off.

Captain Messi makes an early run into the final third and is brutally hacked to the ground by Jon Obi Mikel, his Nigerian counterpart in the sixth minute.

Barely a minute later Argentine defender takes a shot from twenty yards out and the ball sails over the crossbar.

Argentina have the lead in the 14th minute after Messi expertly chests down a spectacular forty yard cross field ball by Banega and hammers the ball into the top corner to give his team the early lead and keep their World Cup hopes alive.

Goal!
