Argentina keeps its World Cup hopes alive after sending off Nigeria with a 2-1 win. Marcos Rojo’s stunning finish four minutes before the final whistle paved the way for Argentina to advance to the Round of 16. Argentina got off to a perfect start with Lionel Messi scoring an early goal in the 14th minute before Victor Moses managed to put in an equalizer for Nigeria with a penalty kick in the 51st minute. But it was Rojo who saved Argentina from a humiliating defeat by diverting a cross from inside the penalty box into the goal in the dying minutes of the game. Argentina will face France whose match against Denmark last night ended in a goalless draw.
