Argentina Downs Bosnia and Herzegovina 2 - 1
It wasn't a vintage performance from Argentina, but they got the three points they needed and have some room to grow moving forward.
The early own goal from Bosnia-Herzegovina was huge, as Argentina looked ordinary for most of the opening 45 minutes. Bosnia had more chances during that span, especially with Senad Lulic making runs from the left side and finding some openings via crosses. They also had several free kicks in dangerous spots, but couldn't capitalize.
