After a forgettable first half, Lionel Messi seems to have woken up at exactly the right moment. After first setting up Cristian Romero for the goal that made it 1-2 (79'), he equalized himself.
With his goal for 2-2 against Egypt, he extended the World Cup scoring record to 21 goals.

According to Opta, Messi is also the only player in World Cup history to have scored in six consecutive knockout matches.
But Argentina still wasn’t done and even added a 3-2 through Enzo Fernandez. This match is an absolute thriller – and it could still have a happy ending for Messi and his teammates.
