Russian President Vladimir Putin gave them tickets for two somewhat distracted Argentine fans who had lost the match against Croatia after being lost in the vast Russia due to geographic confusion.
The episode, which spread on the web, was confirmed at the Interfax news agency by the Kremlin spokesman, Dmitri Peskov .
The "adventure" for these two Argentinian fans, whose names were not known, began shortly before the match against Croatia for the second date of group D.
The fans mistook the city of Novgorod, located north-west of Moscow, near the city of St. Petersburg, with that of Nizhny Novgorod one of the host cities of the World Cup, located in the east of the Russian capital
in Nizhny Novgorod. Argentina played with Croatia and dropped by a 3-0 win. But both fans missed the match, as they were 1,000 kilometers from the Nizhny stadium.
The two Argentines could not believe their confusion and continued to murmur anger, and even more when they saw on TV that their team was about to be eliminated after a historic defeat
. the Novgorod commune approached them and, through an interpreter, gave them unexpected news: President Putin, moved by his misadventures, had ordered them to give them two tickets for the next match in Argentina.
The two fans, with their new tickets, traveled to St. Petersburg to witness the dying triumph of their 2-1 win over Nigeria, which earned them qualification for the last 16 . There, they enjoyed the great goal of Lionel Messi suffered for the Nigerian draw and delighted with the agony of Marcos Rojo .
