Argentina needed to avoid losing to Mexico, or they would have been eliminated stunningly but magic man Lionel Messi saved them in a 2-0 win.
A tense opening 45 minutes saw Argentina dominate possession of the ball (67 per cent) though Mexico looked the more threatening when moving forward in attack.
Messi, in particular, was fairly quiet before his strike from outside the box in the second half went beyond goalkeeper Memo Ochoa and undid all of Mexico’s hard work to keep things deadlocked.
Enxo Fernandez then came off the bench to secure the victory late on.
Looking at Group C, Poland leads while Argentina is second followed by Saudi Arabia and then Mexico with one game to go. All four teams are still alive.

Robert Lewandowski finally came to the World Cup party with his first-ever tournament goal and an assist in Poland's 2-0 win over Saudi Arabi
The Barcelona superstar assisted Piotr Zielinski superbly in the 39th minute to give Poland the lead, before a terrible giveaway by Saudi's central defender left Lewandowski one-on-one with the goalie for the second.
Saudi Arabia were awarded a controversial penalty in the 45th minute but hero from the first match Saleh Al-Dawsari's attempt was saved by Wojciech Szczesny. The Polish keeper then brilliantly denied a rebound attempt as well.
Poland also had opportunities in the 63rd minute when Arkadiusz Milik headed a cross from the left wing against the crossbar, and again in the 65th when Lewandowski kneed a cross against the right post.
