Messi Sets World Cup Record with Stunning Free-Kick in Argentina’s 3-1 Win Over Jordan
Argentina secured a comfortable 3-1 victory over debutants Jordan in their final Group J match. Giovani Lo Celso broke the deadlock with a superb curling free-kick, and Lautaro Martinez added a penalty after a VAR review. Jordan responded early in the second half through substitute Mousa Altamari. On the hour mark, Lionel Messi entered to a huge ovation and made history. He curled a low free-kick past the wall in the 80th minute to become the first player to score in seven consecutive World Cup games. Messi’s record-breaking goal moves him ahead of legends like Just Fontaine and Jairzinho in World Cup scoring consistency.
