Lionel Messi's Argentina inched through to the World Cup round of 16 on Friday night after scraping past Cape Verde in Miami.
World Cup newcomers Cape Verde produced one of the performances of the tournament as they looked set to take Argentina to penalties. But a late own goal in extra time eventually saw Argentina safely into the next round.
Argentina had taken the lead in the 29th minute when Messi prodded home past goalkeeper Vozinha after a sublime bit of control, before Deroy Duarte equalised with a low strike on 59 minutes.
Manchester United's Lisandro Martínez then looked to have won it for Argentina in extra time with a powerful strike into the roof of the net, but Sidny Lopes Cabral whipped a ball from the edge of the box into the top corner to level things up once again, in what was one of the World Cup's great goals.
A Christian Romero header deflected off Diney Borges to put the Argentines up 3-2 and seal the win in the 103rd minute.
