World Cup 2022: Jubilant England fans celebrate after cruising to victory against Wales
Argentina play Poland in both teams’ final Group C game at the World Cup 2022 in Qatar this evening.
Poland enter this match atop Group C on four points, having played out a 0-0 draw with Mexico in their tournament opener, before beating Saudi Arabia 2-0 as Robert Lewandowski scored his first ever World Cup finals goal.
Meanwhile, Argentina began their campaign with a shock 2-1 defeat by the Saudis, before bouncing back with a 2-0 victory over Mexico – with captain Lionel Messi scoring once in each fixture – to put them on three points.
Neither Poland nor Argentina has yet booked their spot in the last 16, but a win for either would secure them a place in the knockout stages. A draw would also send both of these teams through if the Saudis draw with Mexico.
