Muhasibi made a great save! He blocked Melly’s shot!”
"Melli was really unlucky in this game. He sent an assist, but could never score. Even though the team is now leading Tunisia 2:0, facing Muhasibi, Melli's shot
Still can't break through his ten fingers!"
Seeing Tunisia goalkeeper Hamza Muhasibi flying sideways and pushing the football out of the baseline with his fingertips, Mery Banega put his head in his hands.
When he shot, he added a side spin force to the ball, so the football rotated strongly, made an arc, and headed towards the lower left corner of the goal.
But such a tricky shot was saved by the Tunisian goalkeeper.
In the last ten minutes of this game, Tunisia had already conceded two goals.
Ramon Cantero and substitute forward Pedro Grazzini both scored.
Only Melli was unable to score.
You must know that Grazzini's goal was unexpected. It was Tunisian goalkeeper Mouhasibi who made a mistake and missed the ball, giving Grazzini a chance to shoot the empty goal.
But Muhasibi, who made such a stupid mistake, seemed to transform into a "goalkeeper" when facing Melly's shot.
He used miraculous saves again and again to block every shot of Melli that hit the goal frame.
It was almost as if he only had trouble getting along with Merry.
But Melly himself didn't care much about it. He quickly took his hands out of his hair and gave a thumbs up to Farias who passed the ball to him, praising him for the good pass he just made.
There was a smile on his face.
The game has entered stoppage time, and Argentina leads Tunisia 2:0.
Argentines have nothing to worry about anymore.
In the simultaneous match between Serbia and Saudi Arabia, the game is also coming to an end.
The two teams are currently tied at 3:2, with Serbia leading.
According to the current results, Argentina and Serbia share six points, but in terms of goal difference, Serbia is 0 and Argentina is 3.
With their respective scores, both teams can qualify from the group, the only difference is who is first and who is second.
Unless Serbia scores three goals in a row at the last moment of the game, it can tie Argentina on goal difference and then become first in the group by virtue of its total goals advantage.
This probability is so low that there is no need to consider it at all.
Because it is impossible for Serbia to go out with all their strength, just to pursue the advantage in the total number of goals.
They are only one goal ahead of Saudi Arabia, and they have to guard against being scored by their opponents at the last moment - Saudi Arabia also only needs to beat Serbia to qualify from this group, so they will definitely work very hard.
If Serbia is given a "three black minutes" by Saudi Arabia, it will really be more of a loss than a gain.
Serbia doesn't have to compete with Argentina for first place in the group, it would be good to qualify.
The opponent for the top spot in Group D in the quarter-finals is Spain, which is not weak either.
So it doesn't matter whether you are first in the group or second in the group, there is no need to pick your opponent.

"...Although they lost 1:2 to Saudi Arabia in the first round of the group stage, which was the biggest upset of this World Cup so far. However, Argentina still withstood the pressure in the next two group stages and won two consecutive games.
With a victory, he not only successfully qualified for the group stage, but also won the first place in the group...
"Melli performed well in these two group matches, with one goal and two assists. He was the biggest contributor to Argentina's advancement to the top 16. The Argentine head coach also said at the press conference after the 2-0 victory over Tunisia that the players were
After losing the first group match, he withstood the pressure. He believed that this was more meaningful than qualifying from the group itself.
"Melli also talked about this in an interview after the game. He believed that after losing to Saudi Arabia, everyone went back to seriously summarize and reflect on their mistakes. That defeat not only did not defeat them, but made the Argentine team even more serious.
United, they have the confidence to go further..."
"After the start of the third round of the group stage, this World Cup was like pressing the accelerator button. There were four games in one day, and the fate of the eight teams in the two groups was quickly decided like commodities on the assembly line.
…
"When facing the United States, France's starting lineup was adjusted. But they still defeated the United States team with a score of 2:1, making the United States team completely miss the top 16 of the World Cup. In addition, the Czech Republic also won 4:0 in the final round
New Zealand has no desires and needs. In this way, the two qualifying teams in Group E are determined. France, with nine points, ranks first, and the Czech Republic, with six points, ranks second.
"Italy, which qualified early in Group F, sent out a rotating lineup and drew 0:0 with Uruguay. So the two teams joined hands to qualify. Although Nigeria defeated Yin Lang 3:2, it could only be eliminated with Yin Lang...
"The situation in Group G is also very simple and clear. The only suspense in the final round of the group stage is who will be first and second between Brazil and Belgium. The game between Denmark and Canada belongs to the honor of the two teams that were eliminated early.
Perhaps because they had no baggage, the two teams played very openly in the game. In the end, Denmark defeated Canada 5:2.
"The highlight of this group is the top spot between Brazil and Belgium. After a failed season, Kendall Kabangka also needs to prove at the World Cup that he is still one of the best players in the world.

After receiving the football in the Belgian penalty area, Renaldo Lima knocked the football behind him with his heel and turned quickly at the same time!
Brazilian fans cheered in the stands.
Lima turned around and got ahead of Belgian center back Niels Van Akel and poked the football towards the goal!
"Lima——!"
However, the football was blocked by Belgian goalkeeper Jonathan Hewel with his foot when he fell to the ground!
Now it's the turn of the Belgian fans in the stands to cheer!
"Hywell! He made a very good save!"
The scoreboard shows the current score.
Brazil 1:1 Belgium
Counting injury time, there are still more than ten minutes left in the game.
If the game ends according to this result, then Belgium will surpass the defending champion with a goal difference and become first in the group, and then be placed in the top half, facing the second place in Group H.
Brazil's current goal difference is three, while Belgium's is six. The gap is too big.
Brazil must beat Belgium to get first place.
So starting from the 70th minute of the game, the Brazilian coach Pedro Garcia had already replaced all the offensive players in his hands to defeat Belgium.
Belgium, with their goalkeeper Hewel as the core, steadily defended the counterattack and could threaten Brazil's goal from time to time.
In fact, because the Group H game hasn't started yet, I don't know who will be first and who will be second in the group.
Therefore, when Brazil and Belgium compete for first place in the group, they may not be able to avoid Germany.
After all, Germany and Switzerland now share four points, and the goal difference is also the same, both are one. It's just that the German team has scored more goals in total, two more than Switzerland, so it ranks first.
But in the last round of Group H, Germany and Switzerland have a direct dialogue. If Switzerland can beat the German team, it will become the first.
Then taking second place in Group G doesn’t seem to be a bad thing...
But neither Brazil nor Belgium would think so.
On the one hand, the possibility of the German team becoming the first in Group H is still very high.
On the other hand, as the defending champion, they obviously played well, but in the end they were ranked second in the group due to goal difference... Where should the Brazilian team put their face?
Therefore, in this game, the Brazilian players have a very unified mind - we want to be first in the group!

Lima's shot failed to break through the goal guarded by Hywell, but instead created a corner kick opportunity for the Brazilian team.
The Brazilian team took a corner kick, and the football passed to the goal was punched out by goalkeeper Hywell.
The Brazilian team, which had formed a siege, took the starting point, controlled the football, and continued to attack.
However, Kabangka shouted and gestured to Marquios who was holding the ball: "Stay down, don't rush to pass the ball!"
Anyway, all Belgian players have retreated to their own 30-meter zone, so there is no need for the Brazilian team to play a fast break.
If you rush to pass the ball forward, but are blocked by Belgium and directly counterattack, that will be a threat - the Brazilian center backs who were competing in front of the goal during the corner kick have not even returned to their own half.
After listening to Kabangka's words, Marquez kept the football at his feet and waited for his center back teammate to run back.
However, they didn't retreat too much. They turned around and stopped just after crossing the center line.
The Brazilian team was already laying siege to Belgium in the half.
After center back Tavares Cao retreated to the midline, he stopped, turned around and asked Marquios for the ball.
Marquez passed the ball from the wing.
After receiving the ball, Kao took two steps forward, and then faced Belgium with all its players shrinking, but was unable to do anything.
Seeing this, Kabangka retreated from the front.
Seeing him retreating, Kaa passed the football forward to him.
Because Kabangka retreated deep enough, there was no Belgian player next to him when he received the ball.
He was able to turn around calmly after receiving the ball.
After turning around, he faced the same situation as Kaa, even worse.
Because some players from Belgium stepped forward and put pressure on Kabangka.
Facing the Belgian player approaching him, Kabangka passed the football to the left front to Cardoso Toni who was in front to meet him.
Then after passing the ball, he suddenly started, taking advantage of the opportunity when the Belgian player who came up to put pressure turned around and looked back, and penetrated from behind him!
When Tonini saw Kabangka thrust forward, he knew what he should do.
After receiving the ball, he faced the second Belgian player's attack and flicked the football to the right with the outside of his right foot.
Kabangka has already moved forward to receive the ball.
After receiving the ball, Belgian midfielder Michel De Bruyne stepped forward to block him.
Kabangka raised his arm and made a move to shoot directly from a long distance. De Bruyne adjusted his pace to block his shot, but his right foot pushed the football forward hard.
Pass to the center forward standing on the line of the penalty area.
It was definitely not only Michel De Bruyne who was deceived by Kabangka's fake shot, but also Belgian center back Brent Bormans.
He rushed forward and tried to block Kabangka's shot with his body.
As a result, Kabangka passed the ball directly!
He quickly stepped back and tackled the football, hoping to destroy the Brazilian team's attack before Lima could catch the ball.
But his hasty move not only failed him to tackle the ball, but also caused him to lose his balance and slip to the ground.
Lima swings his leg directly and knocks the football forward!
The football was passed into the space behind the Belgian defense!
There, Kabangka, who had just passed the ball, was speeding across!
Another Belgian defender, Mehdi Shotden, wanted to block Kabangka's advance, but Kabangka was too fast!
With just one step, he got stuck in front of Shotden. Shotden continued to take steps forward to block Kabangka.
He succeeded in squeezing Kabangka out. But after landing, Kabangka turned back again, and even got rid of Shotden, and caught up with the football again.
Then, before he fully regained his balance, he stretched out his foot and gently pushed the football forward, chasing the football and dodging the attacking Belgian goalkeeper Hewel!
Seeing this scene, the cheers of the Brazilian fans in the stands filled the sky!
After Kabangka got out of the way of Hewel, the angle was actually not that big, but he still shot the football towards the goal firmly!
The football finally flew over the legs of center back Van Acker, who was returning to the goal, and flew into the goal!
“Kabanka—!
GOOOOOOOOOL!
!”
The Brazilian commentator stood up from the commentary table excitedly.
“GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOL!
"
He held the headset on his head with one hand, clenched his other hand into a fist, and waved it toward the sky.
“Brazil! Brazil! Brazil!
!Brazil led Belgium 2:1! Although Belgium recovered in full, we still penetrated their defense! Kabangka and his teammates cooperated in two consecutive one-twos, and finally passed Hewel! This performance of the Brazilian team
This attack is like a hot knife cutting through butter! It is extremely smooth and silky!
"Kabonka proved to the world with this goal that today's football is still an era where he, Melli and Hu Sanxiong stand in harmony! On the stage of the World Cup, he is the defending champion! And everyone else is just his.
Just a challenger!"
Kabangka, who scored the goal, walked around the goal and ran towards the corner flag area excitedly.
