00:00Let's take a look at the lineups.
00:01It is the same starting lineup for Argentina that they had against Austria.
00:05Emiliano Martinez in goal.
00:07Once again, the only player to play every single minute for Argentina.
00:10Just the one goal against them all tournament long.
00:12Back forward, Molina Romero, Lissandra Martinez, and Medina.
00:16A midfield that's very familiar with Alexis McAllister and Enzo Fernandez at the heart of that.
00:20DePaul will play on the right-hand side, drifting, finding space.
00:24Up front, Lionel Messi, 11 goals in his last seven World Cup appearances.
00:29Looking to score in eight straight matches in a World Cup.
00:33On the other side, Bozinha, ten saves for him in the group stage.
00:37Became a star around the world.
00:39Can he stop Lionel Messi today?
00:41We will find out.
00:43Their starting lineup, average age of 31 years, 197 days.
00:47The oldest ever on record in a knockout round.
00:51We'll see if that experience can help them.
00:53Steven Morera, the right back from the Columbus crew.
00:58This is absolutely a home game for Argentina.
01:00A country and a part of the country that they feel very much at home in a very comfortable way.
01:05Because it comes in for Almada from DePaul.
01:07He's going to return.
01:08No, Messi picks it up.
01:09Rolls it across the face of goal.
01:12It took 14 minutes, but the first little shot across the bow.
01:15It was.
01:16It was the first time they really excited to try to exploit.
01:19Messi actually takes that off the foot of a teammate who was about to take it.
01:22He comes just scuttling across.
01:24Just his 11th touch of the game so far.
01:27But as we know, he doesn't need too many.
01:29Almada being harassed by Lourdes Duarte.
01:32Still Almada.
01:34Trying to find Messi.
01:35Tough challenge by Pina.
01:36That one's going to be a foul.
01:39It was, in fact, Jovan Cabral to chase Messi into the midfield.
01:43Yeah, Cape Verde feel that that was got the ball.
01:46This will be a good look.
01:47I would have to say I feel that they're right.
01:51It is Lionel Messi.
01:53And Vosinha comfortable first save of the game for him.
01:55And the Cape Verde and fans behind him love it.
01:57But throughout all these situations within the game, just put yourself in the shoes of Vosinha.
02:0440 years old, playing in their first World Cup.
02:06That's the context of these little moments within a game.
02:09Molina making the run.
02:10He's going to lay it in for Messi.
02:11Vosinha is there for his might have been offside.
02:14Have Messi gotten on the end of it?
02:20Long Messi trying to sneak in behind.
02:22Messi has stuck in behind.
02:23And Lionel Messi, as he has done 19 prior times in his career, has done again.
02:3120th career World Cup goal.
02:34Argentina out in front here in Miami.
02:49And they just lull you into a false sense of security.
02:52And then that moment you switch off, Messi comes to life.
02:56I want you to watch his movement on this goal.
02:59As soon as he's in contact with his teammate.
03:02Bottom of your screen.
03:03Little boom.
03:03There goes the run.
03:05The timing is perfection.
03:07And the finish is a masterclass.
03:09Once again for Messi.
03:11The concentration.
03:12The first touch with the outside of the boot.
03:14And the second touch in the roof of the net.
03:18It's just magnificent.
03:19It's just Lionel Messi.
03:25It's like in slow motion as you're seeing it in slow motion.
03:29Except for him, that's real time.
03:35Argentina take the lead.
03:41He's the first player since the 1960s to score in five straight knockout stage games.
03:49That's part of the miss.
03:50Until Killian Mbappe takes it from him.
03:55McAllister trying to thread that through.
03:57That shot is saved by Bozzinia.
04:01This was the shot at the top of the box that came from Enzo Fernandez.
04:05Wrapped his foot around it.
04:06We were there four years ago and he got his first World Cup goal.
04:11Played all seven matches for them.
04:12Really his announce.
04:14Sidney Lopez Cabral.
04:15Now swinging ball.
04:17There comes the top of the box.
04:18Not dealt with Foley Cabral.
04:20Took a deflection.
04:21That'll be another corner.
04:23That's a poor decision there from Thiago Armada at the top of the box.
04:26Because he just tries to get a little cute with it to try to play out.
04:30And then he just pops and takes the shot.
04:33So this comes off a direct turnover.
04:35It's a good looking strike.
04:38Move on to the next round.
04:39Messi, long run, far side of Tom Martinez.
04:41Can you bring it out?
04:42Clean low.
04:44Just couldn't quite play the hop.
04:46That in fact was Molina.
04:48Making the run all the way on the far side.
04:50Messi dropped really deep to get his first chance to come on in press.
04:53I wouldn't say that.
04:55Steven Marrera, third chance in the game to get across in.
04:57And again, DeColte breaks down.
04:59Follow up out for the deck.
05:00And Martinez, bit of a late reaction there.
05:03Down to his left to deny Daryl Durante.
05:06Yeah.
05:07Reaction because I think he sees it late.
05:08There's a lot of bodies, as you'll see here, that as this ball comes in, he's maybe in.
05:13Skips it away from Latar and Martinez.
05:15Steven Marrera carrying Ford.
05:17Hands it off wide.
05:18And Mendes.
05:19Nutmegs the pass in.
05:21Tied to Igel.
05:21It's a goal!
05:23Cape Verde has scored!
05:24DeRoy Durante!
05:29Sends a shockwave across the globe!
05:32Cape Verde have tied the game against Argentina!
05:40Argentina!
06:00Do not under us.
06:02Cape Verde.
06:02They've grown into this second half.
06:05Argentina haven't put him away it's been a one-goal game it's a little nutmeg
06:09in fact it's a double nutmeg starts with the pass through the legs of
06:13Medina then Duarte finds it sees a little space has a tight angle Martinez
06:19thinks that part is covered and you see it skip over his right foot but he just
06:24drifted into the box unmarked Martinez comes over a little bit late tries to
06:30shut it down but opens the gap and Duarte finds it it's got a nation in tears
06:39and tears of happiness and joy as they have tied the reigning World Cup
06:46champions Argentina 1-1 60th minute here we go
07:04double substitution coming from Argentina they were already planning
07:07for it I was just gonna say it's almost back to how we started the game where
07:11they're right back in this
07:23and my tag on that was gonna be you're back in it until you're not because
07:27Messi's who I'm going you're thinking here we go it's 2-1 and on his right foot I was
07:34about to say weaker right foot but he scored plenty with his right he just hits it right at
07:37Cousinia made a good job not to commit early not to give away too much too low
07:43and by that you mean too close you're going to sneak in behind down off the
07:47chest and the flying scissor kick there from Enzo Fernandez it was Nico Gonzalez
07:51the initial one that's the way they scored that first goal was using this ball from
07:59their center backs to find a penetrating run from a lot of players it's always just
08:04going to get into the game found a nice spot laid it off back and now Cape Verde are going
08:08to make their two sucks you know the Costa got the start after coming off the bench in the
08:12group stage replaced by the man he replaced in the lineup Alon Levermento and Jamiro Monteiro
08:18the former who's Messi Julian Alvarez made the first tackle to keep that and Messi's just
08:22dragged to the ground there by Kevin Pena who's going to get a yellow card
08:29now this is a distance you heard Peter Schmeichel at halftime saying this isn't Messi's distance
08:34anymore but Peter you're up to his right Nico Gonzalez
08:41Medina slides it into the middle Alvarez picks it up lays it off for Lionel Messi and he's going to
08:47be
08:47fouled in what is for sure his shooting territory for a free kick I was watching Messi in that sequence
08:54he was being marked by Cabral man mark ever he wanted to go and Messi just dragged him 30 yards
09:00from the goal didn't get involved in the play until he smelled that and he comes running in trying to
09:05take it first time and beats Cabral to it as well when you have somebody under you take away the
09:11chance for a player to try to hit it and it's taken quickly no one was paying attention except for
09:18Vozinha Messi tried to catch him fourth save for the Cambrian goalkeeper it's out for a quarter
09:26wow and Vozinha was over trying to fix but look right now he's setting his wall Messi had the whistle
09:32so he goes to take it and it's bending to the far post and Vozinha saw him with the run
09:39-up
09:39gets his fingertips to it to deny Messi wow hydration break in Miami if you know anyone not watching take
09:48the
09:48chance to call or text him now Argentina one Cape Verde one lock into space finds Messi that back off
09:53Messi now trying to walk it in roll to the far side cut in Fred and it's almost an on
09:59goal
10:00Pico Lopez had a mini moment of panic there it's a good clearance in the end out for a quarter
10:05it's a terrific clearance he has to make it there's a player right behind him with a chance to just
10:10tap
10:11this ball home and look at the decision he has to make as it the ball goes wide you've got
10:17Fernandez
10:18waiting to tap this ball home and instead Vozinha misses it and now you've got to make the clearance
10:23outstretched left foot and that is inches wide Enzo Fernando smacking the post he thought he had the winning
10:33goal DePaul for DePaul out now for Nico Gonzalez in front stabbed away so that's a good example of a
10:40sequence where DePaul's driving with the ball and it makes things happen
10:45it just opens up the space the little combination play and that's brought this crowd back
10:50I mean they've been here but they start to ratchet it up as well as Argentina's going to make another
10:54sub that was DePaul's last action Leandro Paredes is on a few days after his 32nd birthday shrugs inside
11:02Lopez Cabral gets to the byline hooks it in diving heteroid by Dine Borgias Alexis McAllister holds it in
11:08but puts it over he's saying there was a deflection Drew Fisher does now agree it is going to be
11:14a corner
11:19for Argentina
11:19yep you can see the touch is trying to find that space
11:23Sidney Lopez Cabral defending him Messi able to bring it inside Messi hooks it in McAllister was
11:29challenging Pico Lopez clears away there's an argument for handball Armando Villarreal of the United States
11:36the video assistant referee he's having a look at the replay in Dallas right now
11:41when Messi drifts wide like this he recognizes if I can draw some defenders out in great space
11:45puts the ball into a great ball oh yeah
11:49this is yeah look the hand gets extended here but it comes off his face awesome team
11:55but I think now is the time for some crosses or Paredes just lets it go to try to
11:59Bozinha his fifth save and then a little juggle of the ball after
12:05Bozinha strike comes from distance Paredes trying to bend it around he sees it pretty comfortably
12:10you know we'll see it on this this was the previous one the potential handball he
12:15heads it down into it the contact first from the head as you heard Mark Glattenberg explain
12:21Lionel Messi
12:24it's Duarte the goal scorer
12:25he chops him down
12:27here comes a Messi free kick in second half stoppage time
12:36gets the ball chops through a couple defenders you can see clearly there's no touch on the ball makes a
12:43foul on Messi
12:44and he takes it
12:46Messi goes low
12:48Lozinha pops into the end job not done he's gonna make the second save
12:56Lozinha's down
12:58foul misses Lopez Cabral to Ganac
13:01oh it takes a little deflection on the way through
13:05watch this
13:06and still Lozinha has to react and that's why he kind of just pops it up
13:12Messi didn't really get all of that I think he was
13:15coming forward by Varela there Varela's gonna get it down in the corner
13:19Varela's defending
13:20Elio Ferreira and he's fouled
13:22no he's not says Drew Fisher
13:23clean tackle
13:2430 seconds for Argentina
13:26clipped into the middle
13:27one back by Dine Morges in front of Messi
13:30trying to play it wide
13:31and then a pretty clear foul out one by Willie Semedo
13:38Argentina will carry forward
13:40last chance for them before extra time
13:44if they decide to take it
13:46or they just need to catch their breath and regroup
13:51Vendor Martinez has the assist on the Messi goal tonight
13:54right it comes Nico Gonzalez
13:56last chance of normal time
14:00Taliafico
14:01no that's the end
14:02as stunning as it was in Atlanta
14:05it is stunning here tonight
14:07we will play extra time
14:10between Argentina and Cape Verde
14:13the team score an extra time
14:16Messi sixth corner of the night
14:18McAllister got afflicted to a good spot
14:20it's still gonna be in there
14:21Lissandra Martinez
14:21chance to fire
14:23he scores!
14:24Lissandra Martinez
14:25his first career World Cup assist earlier
14:28his first career World Cup goal now
14:31and Argentina take the lead an extra time
14:53well we got our answer
14:55Argentina go for the kill
14:57right at the start of extra time
14:59and one of the concerns always on set pieces
15:02is the second ball
15:04everybody gets attracted to the near post
15:07when this ball gets flicked over
15:08crashing
15:09and I don't know if it's Martinez's man that goes down
15:12he's not the man that gets involved
15:15Martinez comes late
15:16so he drifts around the post
15:18so there's gonna be an argument
15:20whether he's involved in the play though or not
15:22not Martinez
15:23but Taliafico
15:25because as that ball is flicked on
15:27once it gets to Martinez
15:28is there enough there that takes him out of the play
15:31does he directly interfere with the play
15:33is going to be the question
15:35the finish is not the point
15:37that's a terrific finish
15:39top shelf
15:40finds the near post on Vozinha
15:43and this is still being held right now
15:45to try to determine
15:46it's hard
15:47I want to see this in real time
15:49I think when you slow it down
15:50you see a little bit of contact
15:51does he affect his ability to play that ball
15:54that is the question that's being asked right now
15:56Mark Klettenberg what's your answer
15:58over really carrying forward
15:59Sidney Lopez Cabral to the outside
16:02back in for Montero
16:06and Semedo
16:07trying to reset quickly
16:09and trying to catch Argentina napping
16:10McAllister can't make the play
16:11Lopez Cabral
16:13it's incredible
16:14it's remarkable
16:15it's almost unbelievable
16:17it's Cape Verde
16:19for a second time tonight
16:21tying the game
16:44I love this game man

16:58against all odds
17:01Argentina scored
17:02the game's over right
17:04not so fast
17:07I mean the bend on this
17:08from our perspective

17:12you see it all the way
17:13that's the goal
17:14the dreams are made of
17:17and that is a dream
17:18realized right there
17:22Cabral calls his own number
17:24cuts it onto the right foot
17:26and just picks out the top corner
17:29are you kidding me
17:32Drew Fisher's trying to get the game on
17:37the Cape Verde fans are celebrating
17:39they can't believe it
17:40I'm not sure he can believe Dave
17:44cuts inside
17:45when the ball comes back to him

18:4214 months ago
18:43Sidney Lopez Cabral
18:45was playing in the German
18:46third division
18:47he has just equalized
18:51Nico Gonzalez
18:54driving in
18:55in between the defenders
18:56Nico Gonzalez
18:57tackle the way
18:58at the last moment
18:59by Dine Borges
19:00out for a corner
19:04great slashing run here
19:06from Gonzalez
19:07he sees a gap
19:08he bursts through it
19:09slaloms around one
19:11and of course
19:12in those moments
19:12you're worried
19:13from Cape Verde
19:14you don't want to make a foul
19:16and instead
19:17that late tackle
19:18comes over
19:18the outswinging ball
19:20make sure
19:21if you're
19:22Cape Verde
19:22the back post
19:23the second run
19:24Messi
19:25outswing
19:26here good
19:29Argentina retake
19:30the lead
19:31Romero to lead
19:32the celebrations
19:44they're in
20:03They've had an advantage on set pieces all night long.
20:08Second goal came through it.
20:10Messi puts it in a great area.
20:12And Romero, whether it took a little touch before it gets to him,
20:16no, he gets it.
20:17Even comes off the hand of the defender
20:19that takes it into that back post
20:21past the outstretched arm of Vozinha.
20:25He just finds a spot, gets a great leap,
20:28heads it down.
20:29It would have been interesting
20:30had it gone in potentially without the touch.
20:33I think the touch takes it in to that back post there.
20:37Argentina on the ropes.
20:39And have they delivered the knockout blow now?
20:42There's still time for Cade Verde.
20:45But what a header from Guti Romero.
20:48It's his first goal in over two years.
20:51It is still his goal in the official scoring.
20:55It is Lionel Messi's ninth career World Cup assist,
20:59tying a record held by West German Fritz Wolff.
21:04It's the loose ball, Jemiro Montero.
21:06A little look up.
21:07Fizzes it along.
21:08Steven Marrera couldn't get there in time.
21:12Now Alexis McAllister's gone down.
21:15A lot of the Argentine players appear to be cramping,
21:18where they go down, they're getting stretched off.
21:21Cavs are tightening up.
21:23As we said, it was hot and muggy.
21:24Not as hot as it has been.
21:26Yes, Messi's scored a ton of goals, but they're getting plays from other guys.
21:29Both center backs have scored goals tonight.
21:33But the outside back is giving away a foul.
21:35As Montiel was a bit late there with an outstretched leg.
21:38It's Varela who goes down.
21:39It's Montiel who gets a yellow cone.
21:53And he's shooting this, and it's at a nice height.
21:57Martinez has to get the fingertips up to that.
22:01What a save.
22:04And Sidney Lopez-Cabral hit that so hard, he's cramping,
22:08and he's down after the play.
22:09You've got an Argentine player down, too, with a head injury.
22:12He's blocked from our view, but Drew Fisher's calling over the training staff.
22:16And he took a step in, too, so then he had to go back and up to save.
22:20Moreira's going to get there.
22:21Moreira trying to escape.
22:22He has.
22:22Moreira clipping the cross.
22:24And header right in front.
22:26Martinez got a piece of it in front of Benjamal.
22:29Decision is a corner kick.
22:33Well, Moreira wins it back.
22:35Benjamal can't believe he's not getting a toe on this.
22:37He lays out for it, and so does Emiliano Martinez.
22:42What do you see this replay?
22:44How close this was on the second ball?
22:46Pushing.
22:46Here it comes again.
22:50As far as Yannick Semedo hooked back in.
22:53It's attached.
22:54Livermanto missed it.
22:55He was offside, at least according to the call on the field.
23:00Dial on Livermanto.
23:02I think he's glad to be offside after this one.
23:06Yeah, he's offside.
23:08Middle bottom of your screen.
23:09Bottom right.
23:10As Argentina doing a good job stepping out there.
23:12This was that last chance.
23:13Watch Benjamal.
23:14He lays out, anticipates.
23:16Just misses it with his right foot.
23:19Great header off the first one.
23:21The concentration.
23:22That's an inch away, and I think he's distracted by Martinez coming out.
23:27And just the presence of D.B. Martinez.
23:30And two remaining minutes.
23:31Argentina trying to see it out.
23:32It's a great header.
23:33Run to the far side.
23:35Run to daylight now for Argentina.
23:37No, it's a cross in for Julian Alvarez.
23:39And Dosinia's going to carry out eight saves for him tonight.
23:44Men down behind.
23:45Multiple men down behind the play for both teams.
23:48Okay, Verde's pouring forward.
23:49Argentina, three men length defensively right now.
23:51They're in the attacking half.
23:5390 seconds to go.
23:54Willy Semedo trying to walk it in.
23:56He's going to get space for the cross.
23:57He fires it.
23:58It's a deflected ball.
23:59It bounces back to the top of the box.
24:01It's going to be settled.
24:02It's going to be shot wide.
24:04It's a goal kick.
24:06You know, it feels like the wrong.
24:07It's easy to say it's the wrong decision.
24:09Now, but with Argentina, still three men light.
24:12They had a couple bodies the far side of the field.
24:15Just a little bit of a blood rush there.
24:18And decided to shoot.
24:19Cholo Simeone can barely stop moving.
24:23He's a man who's high, strong at the best sometimes.
24:25It's probably easier for him on the sideline.
24:26Yeah, as opposed to being the great coach from Atletico Madrid.
24:29Former international for Argentina.
24:31Suns on the team.
24:35Is there another chance coming for Cape Verde?
24:37Can Argentina exhaust the final 60 seconds?
24:41Messi chases the ball down.
24:43And he's going to play it forward and try to do just that.
24:47Atletico Gonzalez now battling in the corner.
24:50Can't keep it cleanly.
24:52It's played long into the middle.
24:53It's missed there by the first man up.
24:55Lissandra Martinez, who's struggling physically.
24:58Christian Romero denied a winning goal by the statistician.
25:02Just lumps it forward.
25:03And here we go.
25:05123rd minute of the game.
25:07Final chance for Cape Verde to do it again.
25:10And Argentina forces a shootout.
25:12Talia Fico wins the first header.
25:14Moreira controls the bouncing ball.
25:16At least for a moment.
25:17It's swept him behind.
25:19This is going to be a Cape Verde throw for the final play of the game in Miami.
25:24It's quickly back into play.
25:25Lily Semedo now.
25:27Livermento on the outside.
25:29Livermento trying to find space for a cross.
25:31It's popped straight in the air.
25:33It's another throw.
25:34No, it's not.
25:35It's over in one of the most remarkable games in the history of the World Cup.
25:40Argentina survive.
26:05Una vez te quedé.
26:08Hay dormido en la plaza.
