At 35 minutes of Argentina vs. Australia for the Qatar 2022 round of 16, Lionel Messi capitalized on his brand’s carelessness, entering the box and making it 1-0 with a calm left-footed definition and celebrating the Albiceleste’s first goal.
The “Flea” scores his ninth goal at the World Cup and does so in his 1000th game. The Argentine “10” gives his team the win and if Scaloni’s team retains the result, they would qualify for the quarter-finals of the competition.
🎯 He ALWAYS finds a hole between all the legs. OF COURSE YES, FLEA!
