Despite the surprising loss in the opening round, Argentina managed to qualify for the top 16 of the tournament and at this time it is trying to continue the dream in blue and white in a direct meeting against Australia, as part of the round of 16 in Qatar.
The Socceroos, who also achieved two victories in the group stage, will try to create the great sensation of Qatar against the thirsty group of Leo Messi.
Leo Messi, who played the 1,000th game of his career tonight, will try to manage without the injured Angel Di Maria.
Papo Gomes took the place vacated by the Juventus midfielder, and Julian Albers continued to receive credit in attack at the expense of Lautro Martinez.
On the other side, Kino Backos, the 24-year-old midfielder started in midfield in place of Craig Goodwin, who dropped to the bench.
