Argentina vs Iceland, Live Score, FIFA World Cup 2018: Finnbogason Scores Iceland's Maiden World Cup Goal, All Square in Moscow

Aguero, Messi and Tagliafico combine and Messi drives into the box and earns a corner. He shot from a similar position as compared to where Ronaldo won his penalty last night. 

Long spell of possession for Argentina but the final cross back to Messi from di Maria did not reach him and was cut out. Argentina rebuild from the back. Iceland are not able to get out. 

Argentina trying to build an attack with di Maria on the left and Meza on the right, but Iceland continue to get tight and press hard. Messi almost always has two or more players on him when he has the ball. 

Argentina have not though been able to continously keep Iceland pegged back in their defensive third. The European side are counter-attacking whenever they can. 

Messi and Argentina continue to mount the attacks, he played it into Aguero who teed it up for Bigilia and the shot is well over. All square so far. 

Half an hour into the game and Messi's Argentina have been dominant against Iceland, but the debutants have not done them any favours. Iceland cancelled out Aguero's opener soon after he had scored with Finnbogason goal. 

Di Maria and Messi combine well in the centre of the park before they are crowded out as they get close to the box. Argentina earn a corner and Otamendi heads goalwards but that has no pace or power and Halldorsson collects comfortably. 

GOAL: Iceland can never be kept out! They have their maiden World Cup goal after a goal mouth scramble. Gylfi Sigurdson kept it alive and Alfred Finnbogason calmly slotted it home. 

Soon after Messi has a second shot at target but this time the ball is safely collected and Iceland can breathe. But Argentina are all over Iceland and are dominating the proceedings. 

GOAL: It is not Messi, but Sergio Aguero with a sharp strike from close to the penalty spot. He takes the ball from Rojo, turns and blasts it home. Argentina take the lead within 20 minutes. This is Aguero's first World Cup goal.

Lionel Messi finds space on the right, cuts in on his favoured left foot and hammers it goalwards, but that's punched out safely. The magician is slowly warming up after his initial forays in the box saw him crowded out by the defenders. 

Iceland in attack are not shy of throwing players forward and in defense they are doing well to come back and crowd out Argentina's big names so far in the first 15 minutes odd. 

At the other a bad pas out from Willy Caballero fell nicely for the Iceland attackers but Bjarnason could not keep the shot on target. That was a golden chance for the Iceland side.  

Iceland are getting tight to the Argentina players and not allowing them space on the ball. Messi's ball in from the left was met by Tagliafico and Iceland were scrambling for cover. 

Meanwhile, Messi has more than one defender on him, and he has been hauled down on the left early on. Iceland giving him an idea of the game will flow. 

Argentina as expected moving the ball around very comfortably and are taking their time on it too. It is likely to remain the same way through the game. But Rojo will want to stop giving away passes cheaply in midfield. 

Messi whips it in towards the far post and after a couple of deflections it trickles out as Nicolas Otamendi can't do much with that chance. 

After kicking off the match in Moscow, Iceland conceded possession early on and since have not managed to get it back for the best part of three minutes. Argentina have earned a free-kick on the right as Tagliafico is brought down. Messi, of course is over the deadball. 

Here we go with Iceland starting things of today. 

There are five players in the Argentina line-up who were played in the team at the Maracana final from four years ago. Javier Mascherano also is set to become the most capped Argentine player. 

The teams have emerged from the tunnel and are ready for the national anthems. Argentina go first and then Iceland! 

10 minutes until kick-off in Moscow!

12 years ago, on June 16th in Germany, Argentina played Serbia and Montenegro and beat them 6-0 and Lionel Messi wearing 19 scored his first ever World Cup goal. 

Before the match Iceland’s Burnley winger Johann Berg Gudmundsson said, "We kept Ronaldo quite quiet so hopefully we can do the same against Messi. We know we're probably going to be defending for a lot of the time and obviously he's one of the best players in the world and he can turn it on."

Coach Jorge Sampaoli stunned a lot of people when he announced their starting XI yesterday. Besides Messi, Sergio Aguero and Angel di Maria will lead the Argentina attack.

Iceland is the smallest nation in the tournament, with around 332,000 people, and they will be taking on Latin American giants, Argentina - themselves renowned for their rowdy fans. Iceland's fans won the hearts of football fans in the Euros in France in 2016 when they made it to the Round of 16.
