Lionel Messi converts the freekick to put Argentina 3-1 ahead in the 80th minute. Absolute masterclass from him. Third goal of the night from the dead-ball situation for Argentina. Surely it's over now. Jordan have done all they could.
Great start to the second half for Jordan. They bring one back through substitute Mousa Al Tamari who latched on a nice pass from the right and sent it past the Argentine goalkeeper. Now Jordan have scored in all their games so far. Something to be proud of. Meanwhile, Lionel Messi has been brought into the game as a replacement. A moment everyone in the Dallas stadium had been waiting for.
Second half underway in Arlington, Dallas. Hopefully it will be a better one than the first. Although Argentina scored two goals but they weren't off brilliant moves. One was a free kick, the other was a penalty. Jordan should also try to make a match of it. So far, they have been very poor.
First half is over and Argentina lead 2-0 thanks to Lo Celso and L Martinez goals in the 19th and 31st minutes. Alvarez had an opportunity towards the end of the first half but his effort is stopped by the Jordanian goalkeeper. Meanwhile in an important game in this group, Austria and Algeria are tied1-1 after HT.
Second goal for Argentina in the 31st minute. A penalty was given after a Jordanian player appeared to kick his opponent in the face right in front of goal. A referral was taken. L Martinez steps up and converts with finesse.
Even Lionel Messi couldn't have done any better. Fantastic freekick from Lo Celso from outside the box. Over the wall into the left corner of goal. A nice curl-in. Deadlock breaks in Arlington in the 19th minute. Fantastic goal.
The kick-off in Arlington has happened. Argentina have made nine changes to their team that played against Austria last time around. Only two players, goalkeeper Emi Martinez and striker Lautaro Martinez, have started from that game. Argentina XI: E Martinez, Tagliafico, Senesi, Otamendi, Simeone, Paz, Paredes, Palacios, Lo Celso, L Martinez, Alvarez.
Although Lionel Messi will start Argentina's final group game on the bench against Jordan, it is expected to be a straightforward victory for the defending champions. Argentina's FIFA World Cup title defence is unfolding like a dream. Lionel Messi is leading the Golden Boot race and is also the highest goal-scorer in World Cup history with 18 goals. He surpassed Miroslav Klose's long-standing record of 16 goals. Meanwhile, Jordan has already been eliminated, and Argentina are set to face Cape Verde in the Round of 32, which drew with title contenders Spain in the group stage. Expected Lionel Scaloni to rest other key players too, as he will want his players to be fresh for the knockout stage.
