On June 15, at the World Championships in Brazil, the national team of Argentina entered the fight. At the famous Maracanã stadium in Rio de Janeiro, the South Americans in the first match of Group F met with the debutants of the world championship of the national team of Bosnia and Herzegovina.
The game began with the attacking impulses of the Argentines, who already built a quick ball on the 3rd minute. Messi filed from the left flank into the Bosnian penalty area, where Sead Kolasinac scored his own goal. The ball from the foot of the player of the Bosnians recoiled into the goal net. 1 - 0 Argentina came out ahead.
After the goal was scored, it seemed that the stellar South American team would completely "crush" the opponent. However, in reality this did not happen. The Bosnians calmly held the defense, not forgetting about the sharp attacks. It must be said that the Bosnians themselves had opportunities at the foreign gates, but the debutants did not have enough at all.
The second half was a time when the Agrentines held the defense. Bosnia and Herzegovina ran forward to recoup and created dangerous moments. At times one got the impression that the Bosnians were dominating the Argentines. There is nothing strange in this, as the Bosnia team has talented and high-quality players.
The approaching impulse of the Bosnians knocked down Messi, who, in the 65th minute, shot very accurately on goal. The ball ricocheted from the bar into the goal. Argentina comes out ahead 2 - 0.
After that, the Bosnians continued their attacks. As a result, on the 85th minute, Vedad Ibishevich, after a penetrating pass into the penalty area, retracted one goal - 2 -1.
The last minutes were very nervous, but Argentina held out and got the first three points in the group stage, but the South Americans' play left a number of questions regarding the latter's favoritism at the world championship. The Bosnians have shown themselves to be a worthy uncompromising team, ready to fight any rival.
