…………

In the first match of Group D, Argentina vs. Iceland was played at Spartak Stadium.

In the group of the 2018 World Cup in Russia, when the Group D list was announced, Argentina and Iceland, Croatia and Nigeria were grouped.

On the surface, this group seems to be the best in Argentina, but in fact it is a turbulent undercurrent, with Iceland, Croatia and Nigeria all living up to their strength.

Iceland's wonderful performance in the last European Championship gave the world fans a very shocking ending, and this time the world preliminary tournament successfully qualified with a beautiful score.

At present, Iceland and Argentina have no record of meeting each other in history, so the World Cup in Russia is destined to be very exciting.

Croatia has always had a lot of football talent, and the level of technical delicacy is also known in Europe, where there are many strong players.

Compared with the strength of Iceland, Nigeria, Croatia and Argentina, there is no hope of winning at all, and it is even possible to surprise everyone, especially the Icelandic team, which is regarded as the biggest dark horse!

Argentina starters: No. 23 Caballero; No. 18 Salvio, No. 17 Otamendi, No. 16 Rojo, No. 3 Tagliafico; No. 14 Mascherano, No. 5 Biglia; No. 13 Mesa, No. 10 Messi, No. 11 Di Maria; No. 19 Sergio Aguero

In the 4th minute of the opening game, Argentina got a set-piece opportunity in front, Messi passed into the penalty area, Otamendi grabbed a header and hit the goal, and the ball deflected off the right post. In the 8th minute, Messi took another set-piece in front of the field, Tagliafico headed back in the box, and the ball went slightly off the left post.

In the 9th minute, Rojo made a mistake in returning the goalkeeper, Caballero barely kicked the ball out of the penalty area, Iceland cooperated after a successful counter-attack, and Vianasson burst into the box and fired a low right-footed shot that was missed.

In the 17th minute, Messi cut inside with the ball on the right side and hit the goal with his left foot at the edge of the penalty area, and the ball was too straight and was confiscated by Hardosson. In the 19th minute, Rojo passed the ball to the penalty area, Aguero took the ball and turned around and shot with his left foot, the ball went straight to the net, Argentina 1-0!

In the 21st minute, Messi completed a long-range shot from the edge of the penalty area, and Halldosson flew to save the ball.

In the 23rd minute, Sigurdsson passed the ball to the goal, Vianasson outflanked in front of the point, Caballero saved the ball, and Finboazson scored in front of the goal, Iceland 1-1!

In the 31st minute, Messi split the ball in the middle, Aguero turned the ball back, and Biglia took the ball and adjusted it with his right foot, and the ball went over the crossbar. In the 42nd minute, Biglia sent a cross in the penalty area, Ragnar Sigurdsson fell to the ground to intercept, the ball touched Ragnar Sigurdsson's hand and went out of the bottom line, and the referee signaled that there was no penalty.

In the 45th minute, Finn Boazson split the ball in the penalty area, Sigurdsson shook Mesa and pushed it with his right foot, and Caballero fell to save the ball.

Yibian fights again. In the 63rd minute, Mesa was pushed down by Magnusson in the penalty area, the referee pointed to the penalty spot, Messi took the penalty and shot to the left, and Halldosson saved the ball sideways.

In the 77th minute, Pavon burst into the box and was knocked down by Sevason, and the referee did not give a penalty.

In the 81st minute, Messi made a wonderful shot from the edge of the penalty area, but unfortunately the ball was slightly wide of the left post.

In the 92nd minute of stoppage time, Messi burst into the penalty area with the ball and fired a right-footed shot that was slightly off.

The match ended at full-time, Argentina 1-1 Iceland.

If there is a big dark horse in the 2018 World Cup, there is no doubt that the Icelandic football team is the football team.

Iceland's bullish spirit is not only due to their 1-1 draw with favourites Argentina in their first World Cup appearance, but also because they are a country with a total population of only 330,000.
