Two-time world champions Argentina were frustrated for long periods, while Sergio Aguero was thwarted by a great Alireza Haghighi save.
Battling Iran could have even have won it but for a brilliant Sergio Romero save from Ashkan Dejagah's header.
But Messi sent Argentina through with a fabulous late strike.
I'm
exhausted. On the edge of my seat. What a performance from Iran against
a world class team. It's taken the best player on the planet to
separate the teams. Magnificent and enthralling to watch.
It's just that little half a yard and he gets the whip, the bend and the power. A spectacular piece of individual brilliance.
