Messi’s Late Own Goal Saves Argentina | Guyana News

Argentina clawed their way to a dramatic 3-2 extra-time win over minnows Cape Verde, sealing their World Cup survival with a last-minute own goal from Diney Borges in the 111th minute — courtesy of a Messi set-piece.

It was a nail-biter that proved the World Cup’s unpredictability — and a testament to Messi’s enduring brilliance and his teammates’ loyalty.
