As it happened: Argentina vs Iran, World Cup 2014

Argentina will be looking to seal their place in the knockout stages of the World Cup with a match to spare when Lionel Messi and his team-mates face Iran on Saturday.

The Iranians are bound to make life difficult for one of the tournament favorites, as they did for Nigeria in a gritty 0-0 draw. But Messi's superb winner against Bosnia-Herzegovina was a reminder why he has been voted world player of the year four times.
