Messi takes...

AND IT'S SAVED!

PENALTY!

Opportunity for

Argentina

to strike back as Haissem Hassan loses concentration and commits a foul in the box. No doubt from the referee.

GOAAAL! EGYPT LEAD!

Egypt corner isn't dealt with by

and in the second phase of play, a cross is delivered and headed into the net by Yasser Ibrahim.

Are we heading towards a shock result?

OFFSIDE!

Argentina close to opening the scoring as a ball across the face of goal from Rodrigo De Paul is struck wide by Enzo Fernández.

The flag is eventually raised for offside so it wouldn't have counted anyway.

Argentina 0-0 Egypt

Possible nerves?

Neither side are yet to really get going here. Quite a few misplaced passes from both sets of players in the opening stages.

Early scare for

as Enzo Fernández takes a knock to the knee. He goes down momentarily but thankfully doesn't require treatment and is now back on his feet.

KICK OFF!

Argentina get things underway in Atlanta.
