Argentina was about to collapse but Emiliano Martinez's leg kept them upright.
Launched in depth by a clearance from Axel Disasi, Randal Kolo Muani presented himself against the Argentine goalkeeper in the last minute of added time to give the victory to the Habs.
Without control, the Frankfurt striker chose to shoot at the near post, without crossing his shot but "Dibu" took as much space as possible to deflect the shot with his left leg.

Cruel for Kolo Muani, when he had just touched the ball with his head on a cross from the left.
In the wake of this decisive stop, the Albiceleste almost did it upside down to the Blues.
On the counter-attack, Lautaro Martinez was unable to fit his header from a position that was nevertheless advantageous in the heart of the area.
Martinez therefore sent Argentina on penalties, also offering the psychological advantage over the French shooters before the session.
The Blues, however, were riding the wave of 94 seconds of madness from Mbappé's double and the Parisian's equalization in extra time after Lionel Messi's goal.
