World Cup final: Di Maria makes it 2-0 for Argentina against France

Di Maria doubled Argentina’s lead in the 36th minute after Lionel Messi scored on a penalty to make it 1-0 for Argentina against France.

 

Di Maria started for the first time since sustaining a foot injury against Poland in the final round of group matches.

 

The 34-year-old took the place of Leandro Paredes in midfield as Argentina again rolled out a 4-4-2 formation, with Messi one of the two forwards.

 

Messi is making a record 26th appearance at the World Cup, breaking a tie with Germany great Lothar Matthäus.

 

Messi’s matches have been spread over five World Cups, starting in 2006. It was Messi’s 12th World Cup goal.

 

Like France, Argentina are seeking a third World Cup title — after 1978 and 1986 — to move into outright fourth place in the all-time list. It would end a 36-year wait for football’s biggest prize, since Maradona’s string of virtuoso performances in Mexico in 1986.
