    FT: Argentina 2-2

    The team are in a huddle, surrounding an energetic Didier Deschamps, who throws out instructions.

    The Argentina players are stood separate, probably wondering how they are not currently hugging each other and celebrating.

    Here's why we have extra-time...

    What a moment.

  8. FULL-TIMEpublished at 90+10 mins

    Argentina 2-2

    The 90 ends with repelling a final Argentina attack.

    Don't worry people... there's at least another 30 minutes of this gripping, thrilling, stunning, jaw-dropping final to come.

  9. YELLOW CARDpublished at 90+9 mins

    Marcos Acuna halts a counter and is booked.

    Time is pretty much up. Extra time beckons.

    Rob Green
    Former England goalkeeper on BBC Radio 5 Live

    All the shape has gone from this game, the midfield is being byed,.

    That suits Mbappe to the ground. He's waiting for those moments of instinct.

  11. 'Big save from Lloris'published at 17:00 Greenwich Mean Time 18 December 2022

    Argentina 2-2

    Jermaine Jenas
    Former England midfielder on BBC One

    What a moment. Messi just cuts in and leathers it straight down the middle. Lloris has to watch it all the way onto his hand. He gets something on it and forces it over the bar. As moments go, big save.

    SAVE!

    Lionel Messi eyes the ultimate moment. He gets the ball out of his stride on the edge of the box, picks his spot and fires....

    Hugo Lloris dives... and blocks.

    Oof. What a finale that could have been?!

    Deschamps making bold substitutions in the first half and it's paid off! The difference between a Winner and a Loser *cough* Southgate *cough*

    Randal Kolo Muani is making a serious name for himself here!

    He charges away down the middle and it takes a well-time tackle to prevent him inflicting a killer blow.

  15. YELLOW CARDpublished at 90+6 mins

    Argentina 2-2

    Olivier Giroud has said something out of turn.

    The ref comes over to the bench and books him.

    Argentina 2-2

    Kylian Mbappe needed just one minute and 37 seconds to take from 2-0 down to 2-2.

    It is the shortest gap between two goals in a World Cup final since Opta have recorded exact goal times in 1966.

    Mbappe wants his hat-trick. Every time he gets the ball, his eyes are just lighting up.

    SCRAMBLE!

    This is utterly breathless!

    Kingsley Coman beats a man on the byline and crosses low for Adrien Rabiot to fire on target. Emi Martinez saves, lets the ball get loose and then drops on it just before a French toe can make .

    Argentina 2-2

    Kylian Mbappe wants to win all on his own!

    He drives forward and unleashes a shot that takes a deflection and goes over.

    He is wrenching that torch out of Messi's grasp.
