WORLD CUP - ARGENTINA-MEXICO 2-0, REPORT CARDS: MESSI LOSES THE CHAMPION'S BLOW, LAUTARO MARTINEZ EVANESCENT

World Cup 2022 - Despite its success, Scaroni's national team has many flaws.

Among them, interstrikers, who are practically not in the game, stand out. So did Di Maria and De Paul. Important Messi, Enzo Fernande's performance on the field was excellent. Lozano struggled but was unable to get a chance to kick the opponent's goal.

The second day of the World Cup Group C match between Argentina and Mexico ended 2-0 with goals from Messi and Enso Fernandez in the second half. The match was judged by Italy's Daniele Orsato. Below is a poll of the game's protagonists to understand how the game progresses

THE REPORT CARDS OF ARGENTINA:

Emiliano Martinez 6 - A real save? Just one dangerous free-kick from Vega. A master of his trade who enjoys going on excursions.

Gonzalo MONTIEL 5.5 - Honest performance, but not the boost a game like this needs. That's why he's sent off after an hour (Nahuel Molina 6 from 63 - even if he misses the goal from the edge of the box, he does a little more than Montiel)

Nicolas Otamendi 6.5 – His intervention to remove Vega's free-kick is very valuable. Always stay alert and never lose focus.

Lisandro Martinez 6.5 - He's a good player too. If that matters, it offers good closure and makes little concessions to Lozano and Vega.

Marcos ACUÑA 5.5 - He doesn't suffer defensively. However, as with Montiel, we do not guarantee quantity or quality during the push phase.

Rodrigo DE PAUL 5.5 - Inaccurate, clumsy, and confusing. It makes up for it with amazing grit, but it doesn't turn the lights on.

Guido RODRIGUEZ 5 - Substance is guaranteed, but the quality is scarce. After a bloody mistake in the hallway, he risks in favor of Vega and Lozano (from 57 minutes Enzo Fernandes 7 - correct posture and seals the score with a doubling bead).

Alexis MAC ALLISTER 5 - Neither fish nor poultry. He bounces between left wing, midfield, and the front line, but he never found a way to make himself useful in his maneuvers (the moment he enters the field).

Lionel Messi 7 - Hats off to the game of champions. He completely turned Argentina's fortunes upside down and brought it back to the full qualifying race. Essential, again.

Lautaro Martinez 5 - Ephemeral. Tunnels in the defensive zone, wide headings, and constant disappointment. Inadequate (Julian ALVAREZ 6 from 63 minutes – takes advantage of Mexican fatigue and tries to make some bets in the final)

Angel DI MARIA 5.5 - He's trying, it's undeniable. It revives some ideas, some crosses. But a little more is always expected of him (from the 69th minute Cristian Romero 6 – adding another stone to the defensive wall in front of Emiliano Martinez).

Kt. Lionel SCALONI 6 - Helped by Messi. point. In terms of play, ideas, and organization, we are not there, at least not at these world championships.

REPORT CARDS OF MEXICO:

Guillermo OCHOA 5.5 - Maybe he's the least reactive in the world when you look at Messi's razor from the outside. On the other hand, Fernandez's right foot "Alla del Piero" isn't bad.

Nestor ARAUJO 6 - Lasts over an hour and holds up well. Then he gives in, as does his companion.

César Montez 6 - He lives an easy life against the deranged Lautaro. He doesn't make mistakes when he has to let go of the ball with his header.

Hector Moreno 6 - In the first half, rushing into Chavez's free-kick, he nearly scored the first goal. He only partially escapes from behind.

Kevin Alvarez 6 - He teeters between steadfastness and understandable shyness. Mexico's goal could have been better before Messi showed up (Raul Jiménez 5.5 from 66 – he has very little time and doesn't use it optimally)

Hector HERRERA 5.5 - Offers as good a filter phase as the slow Argentinian rhythms will allow. However, the organization of the maneuver is lacking.

Andres GUARDADO 6 - For about 40 minutes, like all of Mexico, he gives his opinion. He then has to raise the white flag just before the break (from 41 minutes his Eric Gutierrez 5.5 - he doesn't level with Guardado at eye level with him and sins in his phase of build-up). offense).

Luis CHAVEZ 5.5 - a dangerous mark, plays decently in the first half and starts in his key in the minors. A bit like all of Mexico. Miguel Angel Gallardo 6 - He has to take care of Di Maria and De Paul, but he keeps his head cool. Even if he loses, he doesn't make a mistake.

Alexis VEGA 5.5 - One of Mexico's most active players, but he didn't play the full 90 minutes. Minimum shots on goal from a standing position or free kick:

It's no small thing (from a 66ft Carlos ANTUNA 5.5 - for little reason)

Hirving LOZANO 5.5 - He fights, runs in threes, and seeks out supplies that his teammates can't reach. He failed to score for Argentina (Roberto ALVARADO s.v. from the 73rd minute)

ct. Gerardo MARTINO 5.5 – Attacking the Mexicans on a solid field, but never dangerous. He played to a draw, which eventually slipped through his fingers.
