With historic record goals from Lionel Messi, Argentina, the reigning FIFA World Cup champions, defeated Austria 2-0 to secure a spot in the tournament's second round. This victory, following wins in their first two matches, has confirmed Argentina's place in the round of 32. In the first match of this World Cup, Messi's hat-trick against Algeria tied him with the record for the most World Cup goals scored by a legendary German forward, Miroslav Klose. Although Messi had an opportunity to break this record against Austria, he also incurred the record for the most missed penalties in World Cup history.
