Lionel Messi continued to break historical records after scoring a spectacular free-kick against Jordan in the final Group J match of the 2026 World Cup on the morning of June 28th.
Lionel Messi will continue to shine at the 2026 World Cup.
Messi has just set an unprecedented milestone at the 2026 World Cup by becoming the first player to score in seven consecutive matches at the tournament. His goal against Jordan not only contributed to Argentina's 3-1 victory but also put the 39-year-old superstar at the top of the Golden Boot list with six goals.
Coming on in the 60th minute to replace Nico Paz, Messi immediately changed the course of the match. His presence forced the Jordan defense to retreat deep and constantly commit fouls to prevent their central attacking combinations.
However, the defensive efforts of the West Asian representatives quickly crumbled due to the superior individual skills of the Argentinian captain. In the 80th minute, from a direct free kick, Messi executed a well-calculated shot.
