Lionel Messi saw his penalty saved as Iceland held on for a point in their World Cup opener as the match ended in a 1-1 draw.
The South Americans were on top in the early stage and made the breakthrough after less than 20 minutes as Sergio Aguero controlled Marcos Rojo’s cross to hammer home from the edge of the box.
Aguero spun his defender near the penalty spot to create enough space to beat goalkeeper Hannes Halldorsson to his
right.
The 19th-minute goal was the first serious threat from the Argentine attack, which has seen Lionel Messi force a pair of straightforward saves from Haldorsson but not much else.
