Goalless in the match between Argentina and Panama, the most outstanding thing when the first quarter of an hour had elapsed was an action that led to a yellow card, aroused the reaction of several Argentine soccer players and caused concern for a moment when discovering Lionel Messi with blood on the knee
The play could have been one more of anyone, Messi quickened his stride to dominate the ball and at the same time Kevin Galván and Juan Manuel Murillo swept him from the front at the same time, one on each side, and the captain was left lying on the ground.

The reaction of the teammates from Rosario was not long in coming, with Rodrigo de Paul at the helm.
When the referee showed the yellow card to the defender, who was actually the one who hit him, Messi could be seen on the ground with traces of blood on his right knee.
After a few seconds of uncertainty, it was Messi himself who made it clear that everything was fine.
He took charge of the free kick that returned the post, narrowly missing a goal.
