"My message to the supporters is to have faith. We won't leave them stranded," he said via ESPN.

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.

The PSG ace fired home the opener in the 64th minute, drilling an unerring finish past Mexico keeper Guillermo Ochoa from Angel Di Maria's well-placed pass.
