Argentina superstar Lionel Messi became the record all-time goal scorer in World Cup history after his brace against Austria.
The defending champions have scored five goals in their first two games, all five scored by their captain and leader, Lionel Messi.
Monday’s first goal against Austria took Messi past Miroslav Klose’s World Cup record, with the German legend having scored 16 times in 24 games.
Messi had equalled Muller’s record in their 3-0 opening win over Algeria, and broke the record against Austria despite missing an early penalty.
The 38-year-old, who has scored in six different World Cup tournaments, scored the opener in the 38th minute and added the cherry on top in the 95th minute.
Messi has now also scored in six successive World Cup matches, equalling the record of Just Fontaine (1958) and Jarzinho (1970), with Argentina booking their spot in the knockout stages of the tournament.
Argentina will finish Group J with a match round 3 clash against Jordan on 28 June.
