Argentina have booked a stop in the last 16 of the World Cup despite Lionel Messi missing a penalty in their final group game against Poland.
Messi’s penalty got saved by Wojciech Szczesny in the first half, but Argentina went on to win the game 2-0, thanks to second goals from Alexis Mac Allister and Julian Alvar.
Wojciech Szczesny!
