Messi Breaks All-Time World Cup Goals Record

Lionel Messi scored twice to become the World Cup's all-time top scorer, leading Argentina to a 2-0 win over Austria and into the knockout stage.

The 38-year-old missed a penalty but rebounded to net his 17th and 18th tournament goals, surpassing Miroslav Klose's record.

His achievement came in a match that also saw goalkeeper Emi Martinez pay tribute to Messi after the historic moment.

Messi now sits alone atop the all-time World Cup scoring list.
