Lionel Messi<\/a> netted both goals as Argentina cruised past Austria with a 2-0 victory in World Cup Group J play. The performance solidified Argentina\u2019s position atop the group and advanced them into the knockout stage with one match still remaining.<\/p>\n

Messi\u2019s brace brought his career World Cup tally to 18 goals, the most scored by any player in World Cup history<\/a> across men and women\u2019s competition. The achievement capped a remarkable tournament run that has seen the veteran Argentine striker assert his dominance on the world\u2019s biggest sporting stage.<\/p>\n

Austria put up resistance but lacked the creativity to trouble Argentina\u2019s defense. The Central European side remains in contention for advancing as one of the best third-place finishers across all groups.<\/p>\n

Argentina\u2019s performances across the tournament have established them as favorites for the competition. Manager Lionel Scaloni has constructed a balanced side that combines defensive solidity with creative flair, anchored by Messi\u2019s experience and proven tournament pedigree.<\/p>\n
