World Cup: Argentina qualifies, GOAT sets record

With Messi becoming the top scorer in World Cup history, Argentina defeated Austria 2-0 in Dallas and qualified for the “32”, essentially securing first place in Group 10 with two wins in as many matches.
It was a match that was expected with particular interest due to Messi’s impending record. And it started ideally, in this regard, with Argentina winning a penalty after Lautaro was tripped by Posse. Messi set up the ball on the spot, but sent the ball out in the 10th minute! Nevertheless, it seemed that Pulga was having (another) great day, with every touch of the ball. So, the goal was not long in coming. In the 38th minute, Medina turned from the left, Thiago Almada cleverly let the ball pass under his feet and Messi opened the scoring with a left-footed pass on the move.
The superstar of world football formed the final score in the 5th and last minute of injury time. Thus, he is now the top scorer in World Cup history (18 goals), while at the same time becoming the only person to score in six consecutive World Cup matches after Just Fontaine (1958) and Zairzinho (1970)

Referee: Amin Omar (Egypt)
Yellow cards: Medina, Paredes – Pous, Laimer

The lineups of the two teams:
ARGENTINA (Lionel Scaloni): Em. Martinez, L. Martinez, Romero (58′ Otamendi), Medina (82′ Tagliafico), Molina, De Paul (82′ Paredes), Mc Allister, Fernandes, Messi, Almada (64′ Alvarez), Laut. Martinez (64′ Gonzalez)
