On his 1,000th career game, Lionel Messi had a magical moment that helped Argentina defeat Australia 2-1 and advance to the World Cup quarterfinals.
As his nation proceeded to the next round in a thrilling encounter against the Netherlands on Friday, Messi, 35, was mesmerizing for his nation.
Argentina had hardly threatened in the first half, but Messi of Paris St. Germain scored a superb first-time finish to send their supporters into a frenzy.
The South American fans had been singing nonstop throughout the contest, and they were much happier when Julian Alvarez made up for Mat Ryan's error by increasing their lead.
Australia had offered very little but surprisingly pulled one back with 13 minutes remaining when substitute Craig Goodwin’s strike took a huge deflection off Enzo Fernandez.
They could have levelled shortly after through Aziz Behich’s incredible solo run, but his shot was superbly blocked by Lisandro Martinez’s sliding challenge as Argentina edged through to raucous celebration from their fans in the packed arena.
