Aguero: 'We were fortunate to beat Bosnia'

Argentina striker Sergio Aguero has expressed his belief that his side were fortunate to take all three points from their World Cup opener against Bosnia-Herzegovina.

Alejandro Sabella's side got their campaign off to a winning start with a 2-1 victory, which was aided early on as Sead Kolasinac turned the ball into his own net.

Lionel Messi then provided a moment of magic as he doubled his side's lead in the second half, but a late goal from Vedad Ibisevic left Argentina hanging on for the victory.

Aguero is quoted as saying by Sky Sports News: "The game became difficult as we did not have control of the game. Luck helped us today."

Argentina face Iran in their next Group F game on Saturday.
