Argentina v Egypt LIVE: Score and latest World Cup updates as Lionel Messi stunned by missed penalty again – UK Times

The camera flashes to the likes of Javier Zanetti and Sergio Aguero looking displeased in the stands.

Argentina win a free-kick around 30 yards out as Messi looks to make amends…

Back underway in Atlanta with Argentina chasing the game! Plenty to do for Messi and co.

SAVED! Shobeir is equal to it!

Messi steps up but he can only side-foot a fairly tame penalty at an easy height for the ‘keeper!

PENALTY! Argentina have a route back into it!
