FIFA World Cup 2022 Semi-Finals: Argentina 3-Croatia 0
A dazzling display from Lionel Messi, coupled with a brace by Julain Alvarez, led Argentina to their sixth World Cup final, following a 3-0 victory over Croatia at Lusail Stadium.
The match burst into life shortly after the half-hour, when Alvarez darted behind Croatia’s backline, and was fouled by Dominik Livakovic inside the area. Messi stepped up to fire the spot-kick into the roof of the net and become Argentina’s all-time top scorer in the competition with eleven goals. Just minutes later, Alvarez embarked on a solo run, and aided by fortune, he managed to double the Albiceleste’s lead from close range. There was no luck involved in a brilliant third after the break as Messi mesmerized a Croatian defender on the byeline before playing in Alvarez for the finish. The thirty-five-year-old will now captain his country against France or Morocco in Sunday’s final as Argentina look to become world champions for the first time since the Maradona-inspired campaign of 1986, and the third time overall.
