FIFA World Cup: Defending champions Argentina would look to secure their place in the round of 32 as they clash with Austria in their second Group J clash at AT&T Stadium on Monday.
Argentina made a commanding start to their title defence with a convincing 3-0 victory over Algeria. The reigning world champions displayed their trademark blend of control, creativity and attacking quality, underlining why they remain among the favourites to lift the trophy once again. The match was also memorable for captain Lionel Messi, whose goal saw him draw level with Miroslav Klose among the highest scorers in FIFA World Cup history.
Austria, however, will arrive full of confidence after beginning their campaign with a 3-1 victory over World Cup debutants Jordan. While the scoreline suggested a comfortable evening, Ralf Rangnick's side had to work hard for the result and were tested throughout the encounter before eventually pulling away.
