A thriller.   The First Stage Group D game  between Argentina and Iceland ending with a 1-1 draw on Saturday 16 June at the Spartak Stadium in Moscow, Russia.   We might say that Argentina failed and Iceland passed the test.   A disappointment to see one of the best players of the world Argentinean forward Lionel Messi failing to convert a penalty.   Pressure is now for Argentina to win the second game against Croatia or risk the qualification.  Iceland will face Nigeria.  Qualification still open.

FIFA First Stage Group D Standing after the first game reads:

Croatia in the 1st position with 3 points and a positive goal difference 0f +2. Argentina in the 2nd position with 1 point and a “0” goal difference, Iceland in the 3rd position with 1 point and a “0” goal difference. Nigeria in the 4th position with 0 points and a negative goal difference of -2.

Click the video to watch the highlights of the match Argentina vs Iceland including all goals and Messi’s failed penalty.

Argentina opening the score in the 19th minute. It is forward Sergio Agüero “El Kun” to defeat Iceland goalkeeper Halldórsson with a left footed shot in the top left corner. Great moment for Aguero silencing his critics with this goal.

Iceland equalizing in the 23rd minute.  It is Alfred Finnbogason to defeat Argentina goalkeeper Caballero with a right footed shot in the center. It is Finnbogason’s first goal in a World Cup.

The unthinkable! A blow for Argentina in the 64th minute when Lionel Messi failed to convert the penalty. There it was Superman Iceland goalkeeper Hannes Halldórsson saving Messi’s left footed shot in the bottom left corner denying him the joy to shout a goal and give the lead to Argentina. The penalty was conceded by Hördur Björgvin Magnusson after a foul on Maximiliano Meza. A momentum for Halldórsson giving a joy to the few Iceland fans at the Stadium becoming a hero.

Here is ARGENTINA official starting lineup – formation by coach Jorge Sampaoli:

ARGENTINA (4-2-3-1): Caballero; Salvio, Otamendi, Rojo, Tagliafico; Biglia, Mascherano; Meza, Messi, Di María; Agüero.

Here is ICELAND official starting lineup – formation by Head Coach Heimir Hallgrímsson:

ICELAND  (4-4-1-1): Halldórsson; Sævarsson, Árnason, R. Sigurðsson, Magnússon; J. Guðmundsson, Gunnarsson, Hallfreðsson, B. Bjarnason; G. Sigurðsson;  Finnbogason.

Serie A Players called up among the 23-final man

  • 1 Italian Serie A player with Australia: Udinese midfielder Emil Hallfredsson..
  • 5 Italian Serie A players with Argentina National team: AS Roma defender Federico Fazio, Torino defender Cristian Ansaldi, AC Milan midfielder Lucas Biglia, Juventus forward Gonzalo Higuain, and Juventus forward Paulo Dybala.
