During a Group J match between Argentina and Austria, Leo Messi became the all-time leading goalscorer in FIFA World Cup history. Messi reached a total of 18 goals, including a crucial strike in the 38th minute following a pass from Facundo Medina and a late goal in the 90+5th minute. He has now scored in six consecutive World Cup matches, a feat previously achieved only by Just Fontaine in 1958 and Jairzinho in 1970. Despite missing an early penalty in the 9th minute, Messi's performance secured his place at the top of the scoring charts. He currently leads the tournament's top scorers with five goals in the first two matches. Consequently, Argentina has earned six points, becoming the fourth team to advance to the Round of 32.
