FIFA World Cup 2022: Poland 0-2 Argentina as it happened - South Americans through after Messi misses penalty

The final whistle has sounded in a tense match between Mexico and Saudi Arabia, and Poland are through courtesy of a superior goal difference over Mexico.

Saudi Arabia have scored! Mexican hearts are broken! They're going out!

It's all over here and Argentina are confirmed as Group C winners. They will play Australia in the last 16 on Saturday.

Poland, currently, are through. But they must wait to hear the final outcome of the Mexico-Saudi Arabia game.

Poland defender Kiwior with a desperate clearance to deny Tagliafico a first international goal!

The drama!

Pure agony for Poland.

The Mexico v Saudi Arabia game is almost three minutes behind this one... so we're all set up for an incredibly tense finale even after the final whistle has gone here.

Lautaro Martinez misses a golden chance for his first World Cup goal after screwing his shot wide with just the goalkeeper to beat.

Poland really are clinging on by the skin of their teeth now.

The scorer of their first goal Mac Allister is replaced by Almada.

Krychowiak, who is on a yellow card, is - to no one's surprise - replaced by Piatek.

Mexico only need a goal to progress. Or Argentina to score twice.

Poland have no interest in getting back into this match. They're sitting incredibly deep, desperate to stop Argentina from scoring another.

Alvarez and Fernandez are off, Pezzella and Lautaro Martinez are on.

And this could be important, remember. Krychowiak goes into the book, Poland's fifth of the tournament. Two more yellow cards and their total will equal Mexico's!

Messi releases Alvarez with another excellent pass, but from an angle he can only fire into the side-netting.

Remember, if Poland concede again - or Mexico score again - Lewandowski and co will be crashing out.

Bereszynski makes way for Jedrzejczyk.

Oh my. It looks for all the world that Messi will score but he shoots straight at Szczesny from point-blank range.

As it stands, Poland will go through as runners-up in Group C thanks to their fair play record.

How cruel would it be on Mexico if they miss out because they've had more yellow cards than their opponents?

A stunning strike doubles Argentina's advantage! Now they're cruising into the last 16!

Fernandez skips his way past a defender as he approaches the penalty area. He slips in Alvarez, who holds off Cash and smashes a shot past a helpless Szczesny.

Argentina's tempo has dropped off now. It looks like they're happy with the 1-0 scoreline. Poland, too. Although it's a risk for Lewandowski and co to play like this. Mexico are breathing down their neck.
