Argentina vs Iceland Score, Live Commentary, World Cup 2018

Who would have thunk it? Messi threw everything he had at Iceland but it was his missed penalty that proved to be the difference between the two sides. Iceland, meanwhile, have pulled off the unthinkable. There will be no-one, nothing that can stop their party tonight. For Argentina, it's a bitterly disappointing result.
That's it from us.

95' Peep peeep peeeeeeep. FT: Argentina 1-1 Iceland

95' Messi lines it up. Messi fires it at the wall and the referee blows the final whistle. What a result for Iceland. What a night!

95' FREEKICK FOR ARGENTINA. MESSI'S LAST CHANCE

92' MESSI FIRES WIDE. The little maestro cuts in then cuts out looking for an opening but fires one with his weaker foot wide of the goal. Was that Argentina's final chance?

91' Hallfreðsson crumples to the ground in pain after a challenge from Mascherano. Precious time ticking on now

90' 5 added minutes. 5 minutes for Messi to weave his wand. 5 minutes for Iceland to hold on to a historic draw

88' Iceland substitution. The goal-scorer Finnbogason is replaced by Sigurðarson and walks off to thunderous applause

87' WHAT A SAVE BY Halldórsson. Pavon curls a delightful ball into the box looking for Higuain but it goes straight through a bunch of bodies and the keeper makes a stunning save to thwart Argentina

86' Five minutes left. Who's gonna nick this one?

85' Final throw of the dice for Sampaoli. Gonzalo Higuain trots on in place of Meza

83' It's all Lionel Messi at the moment. Attempts a delicate one-two with Banega but it's yet again thwarted by Iceland. What an effort from them thus far.

81' MESSSSIIIII. Just wide. He finds space, looks up and curls a beauty towards goal but it flies wide of the post much to the chagrin of the Argentine faithful

78' MESSI DENIED AGAIN. A lovely ball over the top finds Messi in acres of space but an absolutely insane tackle from Sævarsson denies him just as he is about to pull the trigger. That kind of a day for the G.O.A.T

76' HUUUUUGE PENALTY SHOUT. That's a dead on penalty but the referee waves it away. Pavon pokes it past Sævarsson and goes down under the challenge but the ref is having nothing of it. Poor decision. Sampaoli is livid

75' Iceland looking for fresh legs and bring on Skulason for Gunnarsson

75' That's it for Di Maria as Pavon replaces him. Argentina getting increasingly desperate now

73' DIsappointing from the 5-time Ballon d'Or winner. Fires it straight at the wall to add to his frustration

73' Freekick for Argentina. Messi lining it up. It's his territory

71' It's RONALDO 3-0 MESSI at the moment.

70' Salvio running like a Mexican would from Trump, drills one into the box but it is met by a host of white shirts and cleared yet again

68' Poor deliver from Sigurdsson and it flies way over the head of Gunnarsson. Wasted opportunity for Iceland there

67' It's wave after wave of attacks at the moment. Iceland now charge up field and win a corner. Sigurdsson to take

66' Free kick for Argentina. Messi looking to redeem himself. Steps up, fires way over. Not a great second half for the great man

65' In all that drama, Gudmundsson has gone off in distress and replaced by Gíslason

64' MESSI MISSES. MESSI MISSES. What am I seeing here? Messi steps up, looks to curl it into the bottom left corner but Halldórsson makes a fine stop.

63' Penalty for Argentina. Clumsy challenge from Magnusson as he sends Messi tumbling in the box. Great chance for Argentina to take the lead

60' All hands on deck stuff for Iceland as Árnason boots one into touch. Guðmundsson meanwhile seems to be in a bit of trouble. He gets up gingerly though and is good to go.

59' Blocked. Messi again at the heart of the move as he finds Banega in acres of space. However, the substitute takes ages to get his shot away and R Sigurdsson gets in the way of the shot.

57' Frustration building for the Argentines. They simply cannot find a way past the Viking wall in front of them. Where is Dybala is my question?

55' OH MY LORD LIONEL MESSI ARE YOU EVEN HUMAN? Messi dances past one, twinkletoes his ways past another couple of challenges but is ultimately thwarted. Warning signs for Iceland.

First change of the game. Biglia is replaced by Ever Banega as Maradona looks on in disgust. He doesn't seem impressed with his nation's efforts today

52' Could that have been a penalty? Iceland certainly think so. Finnbogason rises up for a header and knocks it down into Rojo's hand. 50-50 really but VAR denies the Icelanders and play continues

50' Iceland's first corner of the match. Gylfi delivers but Caballero punches away with authority.

49' Lovely football from Iceland but but they make a mess of it!! Bjarnason and Sigurdsson link up beautifully and the latter dinks a delicate ball into the box but it's just behind Finnbogason who was completely unmarked in the box

48' Header! Over the bar! Otamendi rises to meet Di Maria's corner but powers his header way over the crossbar. Another good chance goes begging

47' Aguerooo nooooo! The City striker drives past two challenges but decides against taking the shot and feeds Salvio on the right instead and the attack breakks down. Aguero should have taken that on. Will he regret that decision?

46' Aguero gets things underway. He has been relatively quiet today. Can he sprIng into life in the second 45?

We are back for the second half. Sit back and enjoy while I take you through what promises to be 45 minutes of nail-biting action

45' Peep Peeeeep. There's the half time whistle and the ref brings an end to the best half of this year's World Cup. Argentina could have had 3. Iceland could have had a couple. But it remains level. Messi and co. have a lot to do in the second half. Join us in 10 for the second half.

45' Argentina have threatened for long periods but Iceland have been sensational on the break

44' What a chance for Iceland. Sigurdsson finds space in the Argentina bix and strikes one fiercely to the far corner but Caballero makes a great save to deny Iceland the lead

42' Another shout for a penalty. Ref waves it away again. Again Salvio drives past his man on the right flank but Magnússon gets back and makes a challenge. Ball ricochets off his hand and out for a corner. Nothing in that really. Good decision from the ref, Yet again, Argentina make a meal of the corner and Arnason clears with ease

40' Shout for a penalty. Nothing given. Salvio whips one in and Biglia tries to get on the end of it but Sigurðsson's outstretched foot denies him and he goes down under the challenge. Only a corner given.

39' Lovely stuff from Messi again. A brilliant one-two with Tagliafico and Messi finds himself in space but his shot is well blocked yet again and Argentina get a corner

37' Argentina being patient in their build-up moving from side to side in search of an opening. However, Iceland have been very organised this half. Messi tries to set Aguero in behind the defence but Arnason gets a boot to it in time. Frustration building for Sampaoli's men

34' Otamendi channels his inner Toni Kroos and delivers a sumptuous ball over the top but it's just beyond the reach of Meza's outstretched boot. Argentina threatening now.

33' Close but not close enough. Biglia tries to curl one into the far corner from 35 yards out but it flies high and wide.

32' Gunnarsson has gone to ground but he was tripped up by the referee. No you don't get a foul for that Gunnarsson get back up there.

31' Argentina have had 75% of the possession. You read that right. 75%. Every single Argentina player has had more touches than their Iceland counterparts but it's goals that matter and Iceland have 1 of them.
