Messi Makes History, Sets Penalty Record

Lionel Messi made World Cup history during Argentina's 3-2 comeback win against Egypt in the round of 16. The Argentine star scored and assisted, becoming the tournament's all-time assists leader, but also set an unwanted record by missing his second penalty in a single World Cup edition.

Despite Messi's penalty miss, Argentina overcame a 1-0 deficit to score three goals in the final 11 minutes plus stoppage time. The victory secured Argentina's spot in the quarterfinals, where they will face the winner of Switzerland vs. Colombia on Saturday at Kansas City Stadium. cricket-info.homes
