FIFA World Cup Final LIVE: Argentina leads 2-0 against France

In the ongoing FIFA World cup 2022, Argentina leads 2-0 against France in the final at Lusail Stadium. Argentina found the opener in the 23rd minute after Angel Di Maria was brought down inside the box by Dembele.

Lionel Messi, who took the spot kick, made no mistake in registering his sixth goal in the tournament.  In the 36th minute, Argentina increased the lead through Angel Di Maria from a brilliant counter-attacking football.

Messi now has 12 World Cup goals — the same as Brazil great Pelé — and is the first player to score in the group stage and every round of the knockout stage in a single edition of the tournament. In the second half, Argentina increased the tempo of their attack to deny France from making any progress through the middle.
