Jordan vs Argentina LIVE: Latest World Cup score and updates as Lionel Messi left out of starting side
Jordan 0-1 Argentina, 21 minutes
A big beaming smile on Lionel Messi’s face after Giovani Lo Celso curled that in. That’s the fourth of the tournament directly from a free kick, and the first Argentina have scored that doesn’t belong to their No 10.

GOAL! Jordan 0-1 ARGENTINA (Giovani Lo Celso, 19 minutes)
Messi-esque! A pearler of a curler from Giovani Lo Celso!
He’s helped out by the goalkeeper going walkabouts but that’s exquisite from Lo Celso, sending it bending around the wall and into the top corner with Yazeed Abulaila leaping to his right unnecessarily and totally wrong-footed.

Now then! Giovani Lo Celso tumbles into the box and Mohannad Abutaha is immediately shown a yellow card…but the referee rules that the contact was outside of the box. That’s harsh on the Jordan midfielder – he got the ball!
Still, a free kick from close range for Argentina to eye up. Lionel Messi territory, usually, though not tonight…

Jordan 0-0 Argentina, 16 minutes
Argentina have had more than 80 per cent of the possession so far, as we might have expected.

Nothing doing from the corner.
A chance apiece in the Austria-Algeria game, but nothing really to report. A draw would suit both, of course.

Jordan 0-0 Argentina, 12 minutes
Giuliano Simeone bursts to the byline and earns the game’s first corner. Forward come the Argentina heavy mob.

Better from Jordan. Ali Olwan jumps and jives his way past a couple with some fancy footwork down the left. They’ve got the capacity to pose a threat to this slightly makeshift Argentina backline.

Jordan 0-0 Argentina, 7 minutes
Offside! Argentina have the ball in the back of the net but Giovani Lo Celso had strayed too soon – which is a shame because Julian Alvarez’s pass to find him was a beaut, and the use of the outside of the left boot by the former Tottenham midfielder thereafter just as cute.

Argentina’s fringe figures are zipping it about with real elan. The Jordan fans engage in an Iceland-style thunderclap as some sort of reply.
