Summary

Time Score  
 

4 0 - 3

Early penalty for Ireland and Paul O'Connell opts for the posts, Sexton delivers the goods

9 0 - 6

Argentina's hooker Matias Cortese is banished to the sin-bin, Sexton slots the penalty again

15

Andrew Trimble is yellow-carded for tackling an Argentine attacker without the ball, so both sides down to 14

16 3 - 6

Sanchez - penalty goal

24 8 - 6

Super try from a break from deep inside their own half, Lucas Gonzalez Amorosino ran almost two thirds of the pitch, could have slipped inside but was tackled a few yards short, Argentina threw it around from there and the Irish could never recover, Joaquin Tuculet going over

25 10 - 6

Nicolas Sanchez send the crowd even more crazy with the extra two points

31 10 - 9

Johnny Sexton keeping Ireland in the hunt

44

Johnny Sexton just fails to curl a penalty round enough

48

Andrew Trimble tacked as he was almost through after a neat break. The crowd liked that

50 10 - 14

Simon Zebo breaks through the defence to score for Ireland. Speed and power. He spotted the gap and that was that

51 10 - 16

Johnny Sexton no problems from right in front

56

Darren Cave tackled and falls just short of the line, he half decides to try to stretch, thinks better of it and tries to feed the ball back but he concedes the penalty

59

Gabriel Ascarate looks in a bad way. His leg went from under him. He is helped off

72 10 - 21

Sustained pressure tells as Ian Madigan jinks through tackles from 5m out and scores, a lovely deft change of direction wrong-footed the defence

73 10 - 23

Madigan converts his own try and with seven minutes left that should be enough

77

Argentina held up over the line but they still get the penalty which results in a lineout in the corner

79 17 - 23

Ireland caught napping in the final minute as Lucas Gonzalez Amorosino exploits a hole in the defence

80

Santiago Gonzalez Iglesias rushes his kick but the hooter goes as it is in the air and there is no time for the re-start so it's Ireland's game
