He stepped up to the spot and in an almost nonchalant way slotted in his first goal of FIFA 2022, becoming the first Argentinian to score in 4 World Cups.
Saudi Arabian goalkeeper Mohammed Al Owais really didn't stand a chance against Lionel Messi once Argentina were awarded a penalty in just the 7th minute of play. He dived the wrong way - a quick little clever stop just before kicking the ball and Messi sent the ball in the other direction. Can't blame the keeper. He was staring at a player who is undoubtedly one of the best ever. Messi celebrated with his teammates - a big smile on his face.
