Lionel Messi moved one step closer to breaking yet another record in Argentina's 1–0 win over Peru in 2026 World Cup Qualifying action.
It wasn't until the second half that Argentina found the opening goal through a brilliant piece of skill from both Messi and Lautaro Martínez. Messi dribbled through the Peru defense before sending in a curling cross to the center of the penalty area for Martínez to hammer home with a stunning volleyed strike.
