love you #Argentina
■Argentina have squeezed through to the knockout stages of the World Cup after Marcos Rojo’s superb late volley secured a victory over Nigeria that took them above their opponents and into second place in Group D. They will face France in the last 16 on Saturday.
Jorge Sampaoli’s side looked to be heading out after Victor Moses’s penalty cancelled out Lionel Messi’s brilliant first-half goal but Rojo’s instinctive 86th-minute effort following Gabriel Mercado’s cross shattered Nigeria’s hopes.
Messi, and Argentina, had started much more promisingly here than in their previous two matches but Jorge Sampaoli’s team were unable to maintain their momentum after the break as Nigeria improved.
