Coupe du monde 2026 : L’Argentine file en 16es de finale, Messi entre encore un peu plus dans la légende
Argentina, the reigning world champions, have qualified for the round of 32 of the 2026 World Cup. After largely dominating Algeria (3-0) thanks to a hat-trick from Lionel Messi, the Albiceleste followed up with a narrow but precious victory against Austria (2-0).
Once again, Lionel Messi proved decisive, scoring a brace (38th and 90+5 minutes). These two goals were historic, as they were his 17th and 18th in World Cup history. The former FC Barcelona striker thus surpassed Germany's Miroslav Klose (16 goals) to become the competition's all-time leading scorer.
Things hadn't started perfectly for La Pulga. In the 10th minute, Messi had a chance to open the scoring from the penalty spot, but he missed the target. True to form, Messi didn't give up and finally showcased his talent just before halftime.
From a precise cross by Facundo Medina, he found the back of the net in the 38th minute. In stoppage time, he took advantage of a scramble in the Austrian penalty area to score the second goal (90+5).
Thanks to their captain, Argentina won 2-0, securing their second consecutive victory and qualifying for the Round of 32 of the 2026 World Cup.
