Lionel Messi Scores as Argentina Remain Unbeaten in Group Stage After Defeating Jordan
Argentina has secured a spot in the FIFA World Cup Round of 32 with a 3-1 victory over Jordan, maintaining their 100% record in the tournament. Despite having already confirmed top spot in Group J, the reigning champions dominated the match, with Giovani Lo Celso scoring a 20-yard free-kick in the 19th minute.
A penalty was awarded to Argentina around the half-hour mark following a VAR review, which Lautaro Martinez converted for his maiden World Cup goal. Jordan failed to register a shot on target in the first half, but managed to score in the 55th minute through Musa Al-Tamaari after a double substitution at the break.
Lionel Messi was introduced into the game on the hour mark and made a decisive impact, scoring his record-extending 19th World Cup goal with a low free-kick in the 80th minute. As group winners, Argentina will face World Cup debutants Cape Verde in the Round of 32 in Miami, while Jordan's first World Cup appearance comes to an end with three defeats from three games.
