Lionel Messi scored his 20th World Cup goal as Argentina reached the World Cup round of 16 with a dramatic 3-2 win over Cabo Verde after extra time on Friday.
The reigning champion took the lead through Messi's early strike at Miami Stadium before Deroy Duarte equalized just before the hour.
Lisandro Martinez regained Argentina's advantage with a powerful shot from a tight angle early in extra time, but Sidny Lopes Cabral's curling effort restored parity 11 minutes later.
The game took another turn when Diney Borges deflected the ball into his own net after a corner, bringing to an end Cabo Verde's brave World Cup run.
