Argentina defeated Mexico 2-1 on the second date of Group C corresponding to the 2022 World Cup in Qatar. This victory was key for the albiceleste team that settled after an incredible and surprising loss in the debut against Saudi Arabia 2-0 .
Now, the Argentine National Team will face Poland next Wednesday from 4:00 p.m. (Argentine time) with the clear objective of winning to qualify for the round of 16 of this World Cup. The positive thing about this victory against the Aztec team is that Scaloni’s team depends on itself to pass the phase and continue in the tournament in search of the greatest glory in the world of soccer.
The defeat in the debut changed the plans of everyone in the Albiceleste squad since it was a blow that nobody expected and even more so due to the conditions in which the defeat took place. Now, with only one date to play, the four members of the group have chances to go to the round of 16.
Once again, it must be highlighted and mentioned that the Argentine National Team depends on itself to qualify. All he needs is to defeat Poland. With that result, the Albiceleste would secure a place in the next phase. Simple as that. Argentina has to win.
Now, also depending on the results, the team led by Lionel Messi, the best player in the world, may be the leader of the Group if the Saudi Arabian National Team does not beat Mexico in the other match that will define the zone.
In the event of a tie, the result of the match between the Arabs and the Aztecs will influence and the goal difference will begin to come into play, which will be vital in this hypothetical scenario. In order for the National Team to advance, they must end the other match in a draw or that Mexico does not win by more than three goals difference or that if it does so by three, it does not add more goals in favor than the National Team. In addition, it can be left out in the event of a draw and victory for Arabia, which in this scenario would become the leader of the Group.
Obviously, if Robert Lewandowski’s team wins, Argentina will leave the World Cup.
