Argentina vs Poland In their final Group C game of the ongoing World Cup 2022 in Qatar, Argentina defeated Poland 2-0.

Lionel Messi In the first half, Messi had a glorious chance to put Argentina 1-0 up when he was awarded a soft penalty.

Penalty denied Poland goalkeeper Szczesny made an incredible save under pressure. It was the Polish goalkeeper’s second save at the 2022 World Cup.

Poor record Messi now has missed 2 of his 3 penalty kicks at the World Cup (excluding penalty shootouts), equalling the most by a player since at least 1966 (Asamoah Gyan, Ghana - two missed out of four).

Messi reacts “Angry for having missed the penalty but the team came out stronger after my mistake. We knew that once the first goal went in, it would change the game,” Messi said after the game.
