Lionel Messi leads Argentina World Cup charge with record-breaking display against Austria

Lionel Messi World Cup Argentina Austria

Lionel Messi scored twice to lead Argentina to a 2-0 World Cup win over Austria on Monday.
The match did not start well for Messi as he missed a penalty inside the opening 10 minutes, with his effort going wide of the target.
However, he made up for his mistake when he fired home from just inside the area in the 38th minute to put Argentina in front and become the top scorer in World Cup history.
Austria held firm for the majority of the second half, but Messi scored his second deep into stoppage time, meaning he now has 18 World Cup goals in his career.
Messi is due to turn 39 on Wednesday, but is still going strong, with Argentina aiming to win the World Cup for the second time in four years.
