As It Happened
Messi gave Argentina a lead after scoring in the 29th minute, but Cape Verde’s Deroy Duarte’s strike equalised the score in the 59th minute. Argentina again took the lead, courtesy of Lisandro Martinez; however, Sidny Lopes Cabral pulled off one of the goals of the tournament to make the score even again. However, Cape Verde conceded an own goal after Cristian Romero’s header deflected off Cape Verde’s Diney Borges in the 111th minute to finally give Argentina the win they needed.
