Messi Becomes First Player To Score In Seven Straight World Cup Matches

Lionel Messi became the first player to score in seven consecutive World Cup games, converting a low free-kick in the 80th minute against Jordan.
That free-kick was his 72nd career free-kick goal (12 of those for Argentina) and pushed his international total to 123 goals in 202 appearances—second to Cristiano Ronaldo’s 145.
The 39-year-old came on as a 60th-minute substitute with Argentina already Group J winners; Lautaro Martínez had opened the scoring with a first-half penalty.
