Argentina were doing what they have to do against Nigeria in World Cup Group D - before conceding a stupid penalty.
Jorge Sampaoli's men need three points at the Krestovsky Stadium and hope Iceland do not beat Croatia, who have already qualified.
Lionel Messi came up with a moment of magic, collecting Ever Banega's pass with a fine first touch before slotting into the top corner with his right foot.
Nigeria barely threatened in the first half before Javier Mascherano gave away a needless penalty and Victor Moses made no mistake.
A win for Nigeria would see them qualify and even a draw would be good enough unless Iceland win by at least two clear goals.
You can follow all the action below.
TEAMS
Nigeria: Uzoho, Idowu, Ekong, Balogun, Omeruo, Ndidi, Etebo, Mikel, Musa, Moses, Iheanacho.
Argentina: Armani, Mercado, Tagliafico, Mascherano, Rojo, Otamendi, Banega, Di Maria, Perez, Higuian, Messi.
