Three goals for Argentina. Three goals for Lionel Messi.

The generational superstar made history in more ways than one: he became the first male player to play in six World Cups and tied the tournament’s all-time goalscoring record.

La Selección’s success is heavily contingent on Messi’s ability to create chances by finding space between the lines. But even aside from Messi’s brilliance, Argentina won by delivering an all-around disciplined performance that kept Algeria from manufacturing any scoring opportunities; they outshot The Desert Warriors 6-1.
