by

After a calm first half, the Argentine press saw the victory over Australia without fears. However, with the change of scenery at the end of the second half, the newspapers even feared the worst and considered the qualification for the quarterfinals as dramatic.

The term “suffering” dictated the pace of reports in the Argentine press to describe the 2-1 victory that guaranteed the team in the quarterfinals of the Qatar Cup.

“Let’s go, Argentina: with determination, heart and Messi, in the quarterfinals”, pointed out the daily Olé.

For La Nación, it was suffered until the end, but with Messi “brilliant”.

Clarín described that the match was calm, but it became “uncomfortable”. And he credited goalkeeper Martínez as one of the heroes after he saved Kuol’s shot from close range in stoppage time.

“Martínez saved the national team with a monumental save and sealed the qualification for the quarterfinals”, highlighted the newspaper.
