Messi scores fastest goal of his career, Argentina easily beats Australia

Entering the match at the Workers' Stadium in Beijing, China, both Argentina coach Scaloni and Australia coach Graham Arnold did not have many changes compared to the last match the two teams met. As for the reigning champion of the 2022 World Cup, familiar players such as Messi, Alexis Mac Allister, Enzo Fernandez and goalkeeper Martinez were still on the field from the start. Meanwhile, the Asian representative also only changed 4 positions compared to the match that took place 6 months ago in Qatar.

Immediately after the opening whistle, the Argentine team poured into the opponent's field. It took only 90 seconds for the South American team to find a goal. Starting from a lack of concentration from the Australian team, Chelsea player Enzo Fernandez stole the ball and passed it to Messi. In an empty position, Messi made a classy curling shot from outside the penalty area, bringing the first goal for the Argentine team. Notably, this was the fastest goal in the career of the Argentine team captain. At the same time, this was the 7th consecutive match that the 36-year-old superstar scored for the Argentine team, the longest scoring streak of his international career.

Messi scored a classy goal in the 90th second of the match

With an early goal, the 2022 World Cup champion continued to dominate his opponent and create many scoring opportunities. Before the end of the first half, Messi almost increased the score to 2-0, but unfortunately his lob shot went over the bar.

On the other side of the front line, the Australian team also played with great effort. However, the lack of luck of Mitch Duke and Jordan Bos caused the team from the "Land of Kangaroos" to not put the ball in the opponent's net even once during the first half.

The Australian team played hard against the Argentine team.

Entering the second half, the Argentine team continued to control the game and threaten goalkeeper Mathew Ryan's goal. Messi and Di Maria continued to have opportunities but both missed them regrettably. It was not until the 68th minute of the match that the Argentine team scored the second goal. Starting from a favorable pass from Rodrigo de Paul, center-back German Pezzella easily headed the ball into the Australian team's net, setting the score at 2-0.

After the match with Australia, the Argentina team will begin traveling to Jakarta to play a friendly match with the Indonesian team on June 19. Notably, in this match, captain Messi will not be present because he will go to Inter Miami to complete the final procedures to officially join the team playing in the US Professional Soccer League.
