Messi makes scoring history with double to send Argentina through

Lionel Messi broke the World Cup scoring record as Argentina beat Austria 2-0 in Dallas to secure their place in the knockout stages. Messi had early missed a penalty after VAR intervened to award a spot-kick for a foul on Lautaro Martinez but the 38-year-old Argentina captain could not be denied for long, scoring with a trademark finish from Facundo Medina's low cross in the first half.

Messi's first goal brought up 17 in the World Cup - moving clear of Miroslav Klose as the top scorer in the tournament's history.
