Mac Allister, Alvarez score as Argentina thwart Poland to top Group C

Argentina were almost flawless both on and off the ball, with relentless attacks on the Polish goal. When Messi was denied from the spot, it looked like Argentina would go back into their shell, as they so often had, but it wasn’t to be. Alexis Mac Allister broke the deadlock in the 46th minute, before Julian Alvarez doubled their lead in the 67th.
