Messi's superb performance

Lionel Messi officially made history by becoming the first player to participate in six different World Cups. He captained Argentina in their Group J clash against Algeria.

As early as the 6th minute, Messi put the ball into the opponent's net. However, his goal was disallowed due to offside.

Not only did he focus on attacking, the superstar wearing the number 10 shirt also impressed by dropping deep into his own penalty area to clear the ball and avert danger in the 12th minute.

In the 17th minute, Messi opened the scoring with a superb left-footed shot into the far corner after an assist from Rodrigo De Paul. Goalkeeper Luca Zidane could only get a hand on the ball. His opening goal had an xG rating of just 0.09.

His second goal came in the 60th minute with a quick, close-range finish. At nearly 39 years old, Messi officially became the oldest player to score a brace in a World Cup match.
