Argentina completed their World Cup Group 10 campaign with a victory, defeating Jordan 3-1 in Dallas on the third and final matchday. The match was a procedural one, as the “albiceleste” had already secured their place in the “32” while Jordan had been eliminated. Nevertheless, the world champions picked up three more points, celebrated their “3 out of 3” in the group and now turn their attention to the “knockout” match against Cape Verde in Miami (4/7, 01:00).

Argentina “opened the scoring” in the 19th minute with a free kick by Giovani Lo Celso, while Lautaro Martinez doubled the Albiceleste’s lead with a penalty in the 31st minute. Jordan reduced the deficit with Musa Altamari in the 55th minute, while Lionel Messi, who entered the match with the hour mark, scored the final goal with a free kick and reached 19 goals in the final stages of the World Cup, further extending the record he achieved in the current tournament.
