Lionel Messi has scored again, making Friday’s contest against Cape Verde the record-extending eighth consecutive World Cup match in which Argentina’s captain has delivered at least one goal.
Messi’s Record-Breaking Goal
Messi’s goal in the 29th minute against Cape Verde was the 20th of his World Cup career, extending his record and moving him two goals ahead of France’s Kylian Mbappé on the all-time list.
Messi has seven goals in this year’s tournament — one more than Mbappé in the race for the Golden Boot as the top scorer of this World Cup — and has scored 12 times in his last eight World Cup matches.
