2014 FIFA WC finalists Argentina led by Lionel Messi are on the verge of missing out on a place at the 2018 World Cup next summer after a disappointing goalless draw with Peru. With only one more game remaining, Argentina is placed sixth in their qualification group, from which top four teams will qualify and fifth will play a qualification match. If they win their final match against Ecuador they are guaranteed a playoff space and would go through automatically if their rivals Brazil avoid defeat to Chile. A draw would also be good enough to go straight through if there is a winner in the Peru match, Chile loses by two or Paraguay fail to win.
