Peter Drury commentary with Alan Smith on the Argentina vs Mexico game on 27th November, 2022
Here is the commentary highlight:
And so we reassemble at the Lucile Stadium
2 nights since at this venue
Richarlison spectacularly sparked Brazil's campaign but more pertinently
4 nights since also here, Argentina suffered the most extraordinary false start
Welcome then wherever you are worldwide to Argentina
world Cup 22, take 2
and there are the Mexicans
then there is him
and then there's him
imagine how it is to be him to know the world
certainly his nation is on his shoulders
to suspect that everybody who watches
demands that he delivers
Messi...
Fernandez
Di Maria
Lionel Messi
Messi's here
that's what they came for
the Magic Mannnnnnnn
one more messi moment and Argentina are alive
the noise in here
he has hardly had a sniff around that penalty area
but give him a couple of yards
give him a sight of goal
and he can do this
magical stuff for Messi
this just when his team needed him the most
I mean he's still the hardest shot he'll ever hit
but he's gone through a clutch of players
and it is gone right in the corner
but show up perhaps
Mexico out of necessity are leaving a man forward who needs attention
oh sweet, fake, wonderful goal
Enzo Fernandez with a peach
and Argentina now surely out of reach
and they are part of the World Cup now
well he's a rising star, this boy
and we've just seen why he is celebrating
the biggest moment of his football career so far
and you can see the joy in his face while Argentina stared momentarily into the abyss only for Lionel Messi to pull them clear of it and for Enzo Fernandez now to have them reaching for the stars
they're in it
they feel part of it
they punch their badge with pride
they stick out their chests
those albies celestial stripes sparkle once more on the global stage
when obliged to win
Argentina did win
hard labour to begin with
but then glittering talent told Messi
as Messi always has
and perhaps one of his likeliest successes
has tiptoed into his footsteps
to add a further gleam to a critical win
the final score at the Lucile Stadium
inhabited by 80 000 odd who saw what they came to see the final score is
Argentina 2 Mexico 0 (nil)
Watch it here in Drury's voice: Argentina vs Mexico
