Lionel Messi’s promise to fans

Earlier, Sports Brief had reported how Lionel Messi's powerful message after Argentina's shock defeat to Saudi Arabia in their World Cup Group C opener has re-emerged.

La Albilecest were condemned to a 2-1 surprise loss by the Middle East football minnows, with Messi scoring the consolation from the penalty spot.

Speaking after the match, the Paris Saint-Germain star made a promise to fans, vowing not to let them down.

And Messi fulfilled that when Argentina took on Mexico in their second Group C clash as he inspired his side to a 2-0 crucial win over Mexico on Saturday, November 26.

Having lost their group opener against Saudi Arabia, Argentina needed nothing short of a win against Mexico to avoid early elimination from the tournament.

The clash looked set to end in a barren draw after both sides failed to find the back of the net after more than an hour of intense action.

However, Messi produced a moment of magic shortly after the hour-mark to help keep Argentina's World Cup hopes alive.
