Lionel Messi made World Cup history by becoming the first player to score in seven consecutive FIFA World Cup matches. The Argentine captain came off the bench against Jordan and scored a stunning free-kick in the 80th minute, helping Argentina secure a 3-1 victory. Messi, who was rested after scoring five goals in the group stage, now has 19 World Cup goals, extending his tournament record. He surpassed the previous streak of six consecutive scoring games shared by Just Fontaine and Jairzinho. Since the 2022 World Cup, Messi has scored in every World Cup match except Argentina's group-stage win over Poland, further cementing his legendary status.
