Argentina became the first team to take five penalties at the World Cup.
The penalty kick giving 1-0 is mooted.
– Di Maria doesn’t need an invitation to go to bed, says BBC expert Chris Sutton.
The penalty kick behind Argentina’s main goal in the World Cup final was questioned by the French side.
Ousmane Dembele tackled Ángel Di Maria – very tough according to Polish referee Simone Marciniak.
– The ball moved a bit away from Di María when Dembélé entered and got some contact, says TV4 expert Hasse Backe.
“hard to see”
Cheap penalty kick, clumsy defensive play or both? Opinions differed after that.
– You need to know what kind of connection Maria has in this situation, says Hasse Backe.
– I must say it looks clumsy. Expert Jermaine Jenas says on the BBC broadcast that it’s hard to tell if there’s really any connection, it seems so insignificant.
– There is a connection from Dembélé, clumsy tackle. Di Maria does not need an invitation to go to bed, says fellow BBC expert Chris Sutton.
Messi’s historic double
Lionel Messi’s goal meant he became the first player in the World Cup to score in the group stage and follow up with goals in every play-off match.
In addition, he became the second highest scorer ever in a final after Swede Nils Liedholm, who scored a goal in the final in 1958.
The match also means that Messi is now the player with the most World Cup appearances in history with 26 appearances in the tournament.
Before the end of the first half, Argentina increased its lead to 2-0 after a typical attack that was saved by Angel Di Maria.
