Argentina thought they finished the game 2-0 in regular time and again when Lionel Messi gave them a 3-2 lead in extra time.

However, Kylian Mbappe’s penalty made it 3-3 and without Martinez Argentina would have gone home empty-handed.

As extra time came to an end, Liverpool defender Ibrahima Konate pumped a hopeful ball forward and somehow the ball found its way to Kolo Muani.

The Eintracht Frankfurt striker had a glorious chance to make history, hitting the ball well into the bottom corner.

No one in the stadium could watch as Martinez rushed forward and stretched out an outstretched leg to save his side from defeat.
