In 2018, my family and I watched the World Cup together. One parular match of them all was France v.s Argentina. This match stands out to us all because it was a really exciting match and was packed with actions and drama.
Both teams stepped out from the dressing room and into the green grass of Kazan Arena. It was the round of the last 16, and losing here will mean elimination. Anyways, the refree blowed the whistle, and the roar of the audience set up the atmosphere. At the 13th minute of the match, Antoine Griezmann scored from the penalty spot, thanks in part to Kylian Mbappe being fouled. However, Angel Di Maria, at 41', equalized for Argentina with an absolute screamer of a shot into the top corner from wayyyy downtown. The first half ended with the score of 1 - 1.
The second half kicked off, and it did not take long for a goal. Messi receieved the ball from a corner kick, and shot from inside the box. The ball however, was deflected into the net by Gabriel Mercado. 2 - 1 for Argentina. Yet, at 57', a ball in from Hernandes of France was missed by Mbappe, and with a glorious, absolutely stunning goal, Pavard volleyed the ball sweetly into the nut from outside the box. Kylian Mbappe earned himself on the scoresheet twice by shooting the ball straight into the net inside the box at the 64th and 68th minute. However, at the last minute, 90' + 3, Sergio Augero received a ball in from Lionel Messi and headed into the goal.
The match is finished 4 - 3 for France. What a game it was.
