Lionel Messi missed a penalty as Iceland grabbed a deserved 1-1 draw with two-time World Cup winners Argentina on Saturday. Sergio Aguero's opener was cancelled out by Alfred Finnbogason's predatory finish before half-time as the smallest nation ever to qualify for the tournament made a stirring debut on football's biggest stage.

And Hannes Halldorsson joined Finnbogason in the country's footballing folklore by thwarting Messi from the penalty spot in the second half to preserve a memorable point.
