Argentina wins Group C, Mexico out

FIFA World Cup 2022: The Argentina National Soccer Team wins Group C after an extraordinarily wild 90 minutes in two different stadiums at the Qatar 2022 World Cup, leaving Mexico on the outside looking in. After struggling in their first two games, Mexico defeated Saudi Arabia 2-1, but it wasn’t enough to advance to the knockout stage. Argentina, meanwhile, won the group after a quiet match against the Poland national soccer team.

The Mexicans will be frustrated with the result as, despite a second-half barrage on goal, they were unable to get the goal needed to progress to the round of 16. Mexico would finish with 26 shots, 19 of which would be on goal.

As a result of the results, Argentina will now play Australia on Saturday, while Poland will now play France on Sunday. Mexico won their last game of the 2022 FIFA World Cup, but it was not enough to get past the group stage of the competition. Lionel Messi is in good shape this year.

After the Argentina vs Poland match, Lionel Messi praises Argentina. Each of the four teams in Group C (Argentina, Mexico, Poland and Saudi Arabia) had everything to play for on their final day of the group stage because each had a chance to advance to the knockout round or be eliminated. .

Mexico’s objective was to defeat Saudi Arabia and then hope that the result of the Argentina-Poland match, which was played at the same time, would favor them. El Tri completed their task by defeating Saudi Arabia 2-1, earning three game points to increase their tournament total to four.

The four points were level with Poland, who had four points before the day but lost to Argentina, also 2-0. Mexico, unfortunately, fell short by one goal. Mexico and Poland were tied for the most points, but due to Mexico’s worst goal difference of -1 to Poland’s 0, Mexico ultimately lost the FIFA World Cup.

Saudi Arabia’s goal in the dying seconds of Wednesday’s match was the game-changing score, tipping the Mexico-Poland goal differential in Poland’s favor.

CRICBABA

Mexico would have matched Poland in the FIFA World Cup group stage in goals scored (2) and goal difference (0), the first two tiebreakers, with a 2-0 victory. After that, the team with the best head-to-head record against each other should advance, but Mexico and Poland drew 0-0 in their opening group game.

FIFA World Cup: The only remaining contentious tie-breaker would have been fair play points, which are scored based on how many yellow and red cards a team receives in their three group stage matches.

Saudi Arabia’s final goal altered the criteria that determined Poland’s and Argentina’s exit from the group, but it did not influence the final result because Mexico also trailed Poland on fair play points.

Argentina easily defeated Poland 2-0 on Wednesday night to win Group C and guarantee their place in the round of 16. This result marked a turnaround for the South American giants after a shaky start to this year’s competition.

At Estadio 974, which was packed to the brim with tens of thousands of rowdy Argentine fans, Alexis Mac Allister and Julián Álvarez scored second-half goals to cap a dominant performance by coach Lionel Scaloni’s team and set up a match with Australia on Saturday. .
