Argentina is the second quarter-finalist of the World Cup "Qatar 2022", where it will face the Netherlands.
The South Americans managed to win with a score of 2-1 against Australia this evening and passed to the next stage.
Lionel Scaloni's men managed to score a goal in each half of the game, with Messi finding the back of the net in the 35th minute and Alvarez in the 57th minute. Fernandez's own goal in the 77th minute made Argentina "with heart" that at the end of the 90th minute the "Kangaroos" passed.
Mesi has today put an end to a curse that haunted him since the first World Cup when he played in the distant year 2006. "Pleshti" scored for the first time in the knockout stages of the World Cup.
Also, today's goal is the ninth in the World Cup for Messi with Argentina, one more than Maradona, and Gabriel Batistuta, who has 10 goals, will also aim to pass the next few matches.
In total, with Argentina's shirt, Messi has managed to score 94 goals, while in his career he was the 789th. This was his 1000th match as a professional footballer.
