The midfielder blasted past Hugo Lloris from distance to pull his side level and spark them into action against Les Bleus in the second round
Angel Di Maria hammered home one of the goals of the 2018 World Cup to pull Argentina level with France in Saturday's last-16 clash.
Argentina had fallen behind through Antoine Griezmann's penalty, awarded for a Marcos Rojo foul on Kylian Mbappe, and looked in danger of conceding more against a dominant French side.
France's threatening forays forward did not come to anything however, and it proved costly after a moment of magic from Di Maria.
