Fans are angry that Lautaro Martinez wants to deny Messi the World Cup with Argentina as Higuain did in 2014

On Saturday, December 3, 2022, Argentina recorded a 2-1 against Australia in a 2022 FIFA World Cup round of 16 fixture played at the Ahmad bin Ali Stadium, Al Rayyan.

Argentina went ahead in the 35th minute when Lionel Messi converted a pullback by Nicolas Otamendi 

Manchester City forward Julian Alvarez pressed well and capitalized on a mistake to score Argentina's second in the 57th minute.

Enzo Fernandez deflected the ball into his own net in the 77th minute to give Australia a lifeline late in the game.

Australia tried to get a late equalizer but Argentina held on for the win and celebrated with their fans.
