Argentina avoided what would have been the biggest upset in World Cup history, edging past debutants Cape Verde 3-2 after extra time in a breathtaking match in Miami. Lionel Messi broke the deadlock in the 29th minute with a clinical finish, extending his all-time World Cup scoring record to 20 goals. Cape Verde stunned the reigning champions when Deroy Duarte equalised in the 59th minute with his first international goal. Lisandro Martínez restored Argentina's lead just two minutes into extra time with a powerful left-footed strike from a corner, but Sidny Lopes Cabral responded with what many are calling the goal of the tournament — a stunning curling effort from the edge of the area in the 103rd minute. The decisive moment came in the 111th minute when Cristian Romero's header from a Messi corner deflected off Diney Borges into his own net to finally end Cape Verde's heroic journey. Cape Verde goalkeeper Vozinha was outstanding throughout, making eight saves. Argentina will now face Egypt in the Round of 16 in Atlanta.
