Messi Breaks All-Time World Cup Goals Record

Lionel Messi etched his name deeper into football history by becoming the World Cup's all-time leading scorer with 18 goals, surpassing Miroslav Klose's record of 16.

The Argentine captain scored twice in a 2-0 victory over Austria in Group H, despite missing a first-half penalty.

The win secured Argentina's place in the round of 32.

Messi has now scored in six consecutive World Cup matches, a feat only two other players have achieved.
