Lionel Messi and co needed to beat the Poles to top Group C and they did so in style. Alexis Mac Allister and Julian Alvarez scored the goals in a dominant win.
Argentina’s path to the later stages of the tournament is now clear, with Australia lying in wait in the last 16.

Argentina dominated the first half and created several openings.
The South American side pinned Poland back and had several shots at Wojciech Szczesny’s goal.
Argentina were too slick for a cumbersome Poland midfield, who were outnumbered and couldn’t get close to their opponents.
Robert Lewandowski was isolated up front and barely touched the ball.
Deadlock broken! ?

Argentina, however, still needed a dubious penalty to get a clear sight of the goal in the first half. Julian Alvarez crossed a ball into the area, aiming for Messi at the back post.
Szczesny connected with Messi’s forehead as he tried to punch the ball clear. After consulting VAR, the referee awarded a penalty.
It was a questionable decision, but justice was served when Szczesny stopped Messi’s strike with a brilliant diving save.
Argentina versus Poland: Second half.
Argentina’s luck, however, soon changed and they took the lead almost as soon as the second half began.
<p>Angel Di Maria and Nahuel Molina combined down the right-hand side before Molina hit a low cross into the area.
Alexis Mac Allister ran into the area and hit a first-time shot that skidded off the surface and into the bottom corner beyond the reach of Szczesny.
The Brighton midfielder, on his 11th cap, scored his first goal for his country.
It’s two!

Argentina were in complete control and doubled their lead 20 minutes from full-time.
After a long passing move, Alvarez found space in the penalty area and hammered a shot past Szczesny.
Argentina saw out the game in style. Poland were chasing shadows and unable to get near their opponents.

Argentina’s path in the knockouts.
Argentina will now play Australia in the last 16 on Saturday at 7 pm. If they win that match, they will play the winner of The Netherlands versus the United States.
If everything goes to plan, it could be Argentina versus Brazil in the semi-finals. Of course, it is never straightforward in the World Cup, and a lot could still go wrong for Messi and his teammates.
Yet, the tournament has now opened up for Argentina, who lost 2-1 to Saudi Arabia in their opening game, and their path to the later stages is clear.
Poland, meanwhile, will face France in the last 16. They were level on points and goal difference with Mexico for a large spell of the evening.
Mexico beat Saudi Arabia 2-1, but a late Saudi goal secured Poland’s place in the knockout stages.
