FIFA WC: Messi Creates More History As Argentina Finish Group Stage Unbeaten

By IANS News June 28, 2026 • 10:18 AM View: 303

FIFA World Cup: Lionel Messi came off the bench to strike a brilliant free-kick, which was his sixth goal of the FIFA World Cup 2026, as Argentina beat Jordan 3-1 at Dallas Stadium to finish the group stage unbeaten.

Messi was named among the substitutes as Lionel Scaloni made nine changes from the team that started their 2-0 win over Austria on Monday. The Argentine great was brought on after an hour and, predictably, stole the show with another fine goal.

Argentina fielded a World Cup starting XI without Lionel Messi for the first time since 2006, when La Albiceleste were beaten in a quarter-final by hosts Germany.
