"The World Cup starts for us today. We have to keep giving it all we’ve got, now more than ever,” said Rojo.

After drawing 1-1 with Iceland and losing 3-0 to Croatia in their first two group D matches, Argentina left it late to secure a victory over Nigeria, with Rojo netting the winner in the 86th minute of the match.

This single win saw the team through to the knockout stage.

Jorge Sampaoli's side will next face France in Kazan on Saturday in the round of 16.
