Argentine triumph
In an electric duel, Argentina defeated France 4-2 on penalties, after drawing 3-3.
The match began with a broad Argentine dominance, which was quickly reflected in the result. At the end of the initial 45 minutes, the Argentine team led 2-0 with goals from Lionel Messi, from a penalty, and Ángel Di María.
In the plugin, those led by Deschamps had a flurry in attack and managed a penalty that Mbappé changed for a goal and, minutes later, the 10 himself managed to equalize the match and extend the game to overtime.
Only in the second half of the 30 minutes that followed did Lionel Messi convert again, after pushing a rebound from goalkeeper Hugo Lloris. But it was still missing and again Mbappé managed to exchange a penalty for a goal, after an involuntary handball in the area by Gonzalo Montiel.
Thus, the shots came from the penalty mark and Argentina had its sword width, as usual, in its goalkeeper, Emiliano “Dibu” Martínez, who contained one of the French shots, while the other missed one came close to the post .
Finally, Gonzalo Montiel changed his shot for a goal, defined the series 4-2 and made Argentina reach its third star in history, after the 1978 and 1986 titles.
