Lionel became the player with the most scored goals in the World Cup.

Argentina beat Austria 2-0 at AT&T Stadium and had 2 victories after 2 matches as they almost certainly secured the top place in Group J with a game in hand.

However, the most important thing that will be remembered from the match will be that Leo Messi became the highest goal scorer in men’s World Cup history with his 17th and 18th goals at the competition, as he broke the tie with Germany forward Miroslav Klose.

Messi is now scored in 6th straight World Cup matches since 2022. Leo had a perfect chance to break the record early in the clash as Argentina received a penalty, but he failed to convert it. Despite that, in the 39th minute, Leo scored to write history.

The Argentina captain evened Klose’s record by scoring a hat trick during Argentina’s 3-0 victory against Algeria to kick off the World Cup.

The result remained only 1-0 for the South American side until the extra time, when Messi was at the right place at the right time, and the Argentinian superstar scored a goal to make his goals in World Cup history 19.
