Iceland defied all expectations in their first ever World Cup finals match, holding Argentina to a hard-fought 1-1 draw in Moscow. MessiI saw a penalty saved just hours after rival Cristiano Ronaldo scored a stunning hat-trick against Spain - meaning he's now missed FOUR of his last seven. The Argentina superstar stepped up against Iceland with the game tied at 1-1 - but hit a tame effort with Hannes Halldorsson easily palming away.

Messi failed to give his team the lead when his 64th-minute penalty was stopped by Hannes Halldorsson. The Iceland goalkeeper dived to his right and got two hands behind the ball.It was Messi’s fourth missed penalty in his last seven attempts for Argentina and Barcelona. Argentina opened the scoring through Sergio Aguero, who hit his first goal at a World Cup, but they were immediately pegged back after some haphazard defending gifted Alfreo Finnbogason with a golden opportunity. If the first half showed Argentina’s flaws in defence, the second half exposed their attacking vulnerabilities as they failed to really probe the Iceland rear-guard until Maximiliano Meza won a penalty. The small Nordic island nation’s team created several first-half chances despite having only 22 per cent possession, and pushed back Argentina’s waves of second-half attacks. Messi had a final chance to redeem his team with the final kick of the game, but his free kick from 25 yards failed to clear a solid Iceland defensive wall. At the end, Messi retreated alone into the centre circle with his head bowed and hands on his knees. Iceland played its debut on soccer’s biggest stage like it belonged alongside the 2014 runners-up. Before trailing, Iceland could have taken the lead but Birkir Bjarnason side-footed a shot wide of goal when Caballero was exposed. That chance came in a nervous ninth minute for Argentina’s defence, which seemed unsettled by Iceland’s strength and their own unease with loose balls in the penalty area.
