Lionel Messi has put Argentina into the lead against Saudi Arabia after just 10 minutes of their Group C opener and you can watch the goal here.

The goal came from the penalty spot after Leandro Paredes was bundled to the ground following an Argentina free kick from the left.

Messi had missed an earlier chance in the opening minutes when he failed to find the back of the net from 12 yards but made no mistake in stepping up and sending Saudi keeper Mohammed Al-Owais the wrong way with his spot kick.

Liverpool target and Benfica midfielder Enzo Fernandez is on the bench for Argentina and Reds fans will be looking to catch a glimpse of the exciting 21-year-old in the 2nd half.
