Chapter 512 Chapter 510: Messi, when will you score?
People turned their attention to Group B, can Argentina win three consecutive victories?

Who is the other team on the line?
Is it Korea or Greece?
Will Nigeria, already eliminated early, stop South Korea and help Greece break out?
Obviously, South Korea has a better chance of qualifying, because Greece's opponent is Argentina.

It is impossible for Argentina to relax, they must continue their state and prepare for the knockout round.

At 22:08 on the evening of the 30nd, the two games were played at the Peter Mokaba Stadium in Polokwane City and the Durban Stadium.

At the Peter Mokaba Stadium in Polokwane, Maradona rotated as many as 7 people!
Gutierrez was suspended, captain Mascherano, Heinze and Higuain, the top scorer with yellow cards, were rested. Veron returned from a calf injury, Milito and Aguero partnered forward, Burdisso, Otamendi, Clemente Rodriguez, and Boratti also got the chance to start.

Maradona still let Messi start, which is to hope that he can continue to find his status and complete his first World Cup goal.

Can be described as well-intentioned.

Both Chen Fan and Ronaldo have made a fuss, and Messi is very embarrassed now.

两队此前惟一交锋是在1994年世界杯小组赛上，阿根廷4比0胜出，球王马拉多纳在那场比赛中他的第34个也是最后1个国家队进球。

After that game, the ball king was expelled from the World Cup in the United States for taking prohibited drugs.

That game was Maradona's swan song in the World Cup.

After the start of the game, Argentina quickly controlled the rhythm of the game under its own feet by virtue of its own strength.

Greece's tactical thinking is very clear, that is to defend and counterattack, set up a bus in front of its own penalty area, and bear the shock waves from Argentina again and again.

In the Durban Stadium, the Koreans hope to take the initiative in their own hands with a victory. In the opening No.70 eight seconds, they almost knocked on the door of victory!

Nigerian defender Afurabi made a mistake in passing the ball from the backcourt. Park Joo-young stole the football and passed it straight. The football flew to the upper right corner of the penalty area!
Li Qinglong got into the restricted area and shot in the upper right corner of the edge of the small restricted area!
Football regrettably missed the goal, and the Korean missed the opportunity to lead.

The Nigerians were actively looking for opportunities under the onslaught of the Koreans. No. 12 minutes in the first half, Odia passed two people on the right and barely made a cross.

At the critical moment, the two central defenders of the South Korean team lost their positions. Nigerian striker Uche shot ahead of Cha Du-ri ten meters away from the goal!
Soccer hits the net!

One to zero!

Nigeria must defend its honor!

Nigeria No. 306 minutes almost expanded the score, Kanu passed the ball, and Uche shot a strong shot 25 meters from the goal!
The football hits the right post and pops out of the bottom line!

Koreans feel like they have just walked through hell for the rest of their lives.

After the so-called catastrophe, there must be blessings. After 2 minutes, the Koreans launched a fatal blow. Obasi was given a yellow card for a foul on Lee Young-pyo, and South Korea won a free kick in the frontcourt.

Ji Chengyong made a free kick from the left, and Li Zhengxiu scored from a small angle from far away!
One to one!

The Koreans equalized the score and continued to maintain hope of advancing.

In the end, the two sides ended the first half with a score of one to one. On another piece of turf, the tenacious Greeks did not let Argentina convert their fierce offensive into goals.

After a 15-minute intermission, four teams returned to play.

The fateful second half of the game has begun!

Durban Stadium, the Koreans made a fantastic start!

In the 4th minute of the second half, Hito fouled Park Joo-young from the edge of the penalty area, and the referee awarded the South Korean team a free kick in a good position.

Park Joo-young shot directly, the ball bounced from the side of the wall and jumped into the far corner!

Two to one!

The Koreans overtook the score, and they are in sight!
Tai Chi Tiger took advantage of the opportunity of two set kicks to score two goals!
The news that the Koreans overtook the score reached the Peter Mokaba Stadium in Polokwane, which changed the mentality of the Greeks. They must beat Argentina to advance.

They intend to attack, but in the face of the huge gap in strength, their offensive cannot put pressure on Argentina at all.

They can only pin their hopes on Nigeria.

10 minutes later, their hopes were backed by Nigeria!

At the Durban Stadium, there was another problem with South Korea's defense line. Kim Nam-il fouled after being intercepted by Obasi in his penalty area!
"Tick!..."

The referee awarded a penalty very decisively!
Nigeria striker Yakubu achieved overnight!

Two to two!
The qualifying situation immediately became confusing. If the Greek team can draw with Argentina, they will be able to advance by virtue of their goal difference!
The Koreans completely defeated themselves and made trouble for themselves.

The delicate situation made the two games more tense. The Argentine team continued to attack at the Peter Mokaba Stadium in Polokwane.

In the No.30 second minute of the second half, the Greeks' defense finally had a problem. Di Maria took a corner kick from the left, and Demichelis scored a header seven meters in front of the goal!
The football bounced off teammate Milito's chest. Demicheli stepped forward and shot with his left foot on the edge of the penalty area!
The football goes into the net from under the crossbar!
The Argentine finally broke the deadlock!

Standing in the command area, Maradona was as excited as a child!
This goal directly put the Greek team into a desperate situation, and the Koreans at the Durban Stadium breathed a sigh of relief. As long as they can maintain the current score, they will be able to advance.

Demicheli's goal activated the Argentine attack group, and they frequently put pressure on the Greek defense.

No.401 minutes of the second half, Di Maria passed the ball with his heel, Messi broke into the left side of the penalty area and volleyed with his left foot 13 meters away from the goal!

The football goes straight to the near corner!

The Argentine national TV commentator shouted: "Messi's first goal is coming!"

However, God seems to be playing a joke with Messi.

"Pong!..."

With a loud bang, the football hit the post!
Messi missed his first World Cup goal!

Frustrated and pained, Messi covered his face...

Messi failed to help Argentina seal the victory, but the "crazy" Palermo, who came off the bench for Milito, scored his first World Cup goal.

3 minutes after Messi hit the post, Pastore made a direct pass. Messi took the ball from his right rib and cut in to avoid the defense. He volleyed with his left foot 18 meters in front of the goal!

The football goes straight to the goal!

Greek goalkeeper Tsovas threw the ball away, Palermo made a supplementary shot overnight!

Two to zero!
Argentina seals the victory!

In the end, Argentina defeated Greece with two goals, gained three consecutive victories, and advanced strongly to the knockout round. Their opponent in the first round of the knockout round was the Mexican team.

The other game was a [-]-[-] draw. The Koreans got their wish and got a draw. They overwhelmed Greece by one point and qualified second in the group.

The Korean's opponent in the knockout round is Uruguay, which ranks first in Group A.

South Korea escaped from the group stage without any risk, which made Asia breathe a sigh of relief. After all, some Asian teams have advanced to the knockout round.

While congratulating Argentina's promotion, the Dutch Telegraph taunted Messi: Congratulations to Argentina's strong promotion to the knockout round, but Messi, when will you score?
