ESPN's Martyn Thomas had this to say:
"was only really in the last 10 minutes that Diego Maradona, Argentina's chief cheerleader for the day, could allow himself to celebrate and hug random strangers. Up until then it had been more of a slog for the Pumas in the Leicester sunshine than they or their supporters had imagined. This was not the perfect performance from Argentina but they got the bonus point and, ahead of their final clash with Namibia, have secured their passage to the last eight. With Maradona in attendance it was fitting too that the man wearing the No.10 shirt for the South Americans picked up Man of the Match honours. Sanchez was exemplary, finishing the game with 25 points and proving that he is integral to this Pumas side. "
