Messi freekick but straight at Vozinha.

Not much really to write home about in the opening 24 minutes in this match.

There he is again

And then Messi produces a bit of magic. 20 career World Cup goals for him. 1-0 Argentina.

Some top scorers chart now - Messi, Mbappe, Kane, Haaland. All the big stars turning up!

Could be in double figures for the victor of the Golden Boot.

Four minutes of added time in this first half to play.

Rooting for Haaland ❤️❤️❤️

Cape Verde doing well to only be 1 down here.

And they've just scored, 1-1.

No way Cape Verde! Duarte equalizes!

Lets goooooo ❤️❤️❤️❤️

Cabo Verde ❤️

A man from Dublin at centre back for them

They couldn't do it again could they?

Magnificent save from Vozinha!

Pina booked for Cape Verde.
