Argentina brought their hopes of winning this World Cup back to life, when they defeated hard fighting Mexico 2-0.
Recall that Argentina lost their opening match to Saudi Arabia, another loss to Mexico would have sent them packing.
After a goalless first half, Lionel Messi and Fernandez scored in the second half to give the South Americans hope ahead of their last group match against Poland, who they need to win to qualify.
Poland had earlier defeated Saudi Arabia 2.0 to top the group with four points.
All the four teams in the group still stand a chance of qualifying ahead of their last group matches.
