WHAT HAPPENED? Argentina had a glorious chance to take the lead in the first half against Poland when VAR awarded them what many considered to be a soft penalty. Lionel Messi stepped up to take the spot kick, but saw his effort pawed away well by Juventus goalkeeper Szczesny.

THE BIGGER PICTURE: Controversy surrounded the penalty from the off, which was awarded in questionable circumstances. Szczesny was declared to have fouled Messi when his hand came into contact with the Argentine after he had headed the ball, though the contact was minimal.

WHAT NEXT FOR POLAND? With Group C wide open, Poland can actually secure top spot if all results remained goalless. But with Saudi Arabia looking good so far at the tournament, they need a favour from Mexico.
