Nigeria and Argentina fought over a spot in the next round of the 2018 World Cup.

Lionel Messi finally scored his first goal of the tournament to give his side the lead. Though Nigeria leveled thanks to a coolly converted penalty from Victor Moses.

Marcos Rojo then popped up in the 87th minute to score the winning goal. Incredible scenes.

Argentina progress to the knockout round and will face France.

Meanwhile, Croatia top Group D and will play Denmark in the last 16 stage for a place in the quarter-finals.
