Your support makes all the difference.Iceland defied all expectations in their first ever World Cup finals match, holding Argentina to a hard-fought 1-1 draw in Moscow.
Argentina opened the scoring through Sergio Aguero, who hit his first goal at a World Cup, but they were immediately pegged back after some haphazard defending gifted Alfreo Finnbogason with a golden opportunity.
If the first half showed Argentina’s flaws in defence, the second half exposed their attacking vulnerabilities as they failed to really probe the Iceland rear-guard until Maximiliano Meza won a penalty.
But Lionel Messi showed he is human after all, missing from the spot, and even though they could easily have won another penalty after substitute Pavon was fouled, Iceland were more than deserving of their point this afternoon.
Both sides will know that navigating their way past Nigeria and Croatia will prove a difficult task and this group of death is already living up to its billing.
So how did the two teams fare? See the gallery above for our player ratings.
