Lionel Messi became the World Cup’s all-time top scorer with his 17th goal, netting for Argentina against Austria on Monday night.

He had earlier missed a penalty, sending his effort off target against Alexander Schlager in the ninth minute.

The breakthrough came in the 38th minute, the 38-year-old finishing left-footed after Thiago Almada let OM defender Facundo Medina’s cross run to open the scoring.

It was Messi’s 17th goal across six World Cups, taking him one clear of Miroslav Klose, who has 16.

He had drawn level with Klose on Tuesday night, hitting a hat-trick against Algeria in Argentina’s 3-0 opener at the 2026 tournament.
