The Argentine National Team defeated Australia 2-1 this Saturday and thus qualified for the quarterfinals of the Qatar 2022 World Cup, where they will face the Netherlands. The white and blue goals were scored by Lionel Messi, in the first stage, and Julián Álvarez, in the second half.

Now they will have six days to rest and recover energy, since they will only play next Friday from 4:00 p.m. In the previous one, the South Americans were the clear favorites of this key, both for current events and for history in this type of championship The only mole of this team was the end full of tension, where, first of all, Lisandro Martínez saved a goal in a heroic way, which would have meant the tie. Something similar happened already in discount time, and Dibu Martínez was firm there.

The bad news that Lionel Scaloni gives Messi before the match against Australia

Neither Di Maria nor De Paul, the new look of Dibu Martínez that made Messi proud

It could be said, based on the match statistics and how Argentina dominated its rival, that the score was quite short in relation to what happened on the field of play. Within this framework, there is a logical explanation that Lionel Scaloni himself revealed and put as an incentive to imply that little confusion about the end of the match.

The native of Pujato, as he usually does after each game, attended the press conference, where he left his feelings. In a passage of the talk, he revealed that "The team did not deserve to suffer in the last minutes", arguing that the team was tired. This goes hand in hand with what was said a few hours ago, rightly blaming FIFA for the short rest time between games (they had less than 72 hours).

The negative streak that was broken with the victory against Australia

Although it is something that could have gone unnoticed by everything that happened, it never hurts to remember when something adverse is left behind. Argentina beat their rival in the round of 16 during the 90 minutes, something that had not happened since South Africa 2010, when they beat Mexico. In Brazil 2014 they needed to go into overtime to beat Switzerland, and in Russia 2018 they were eliminated in that instance against France.
