Lionel Messi scored from the penalty spot to give Argentina’s a 1-0 lead in the semi-final vs Croatia, which also made him his country’s highest goalscorer in World Cup history. After this he came up with a brilliant run from the half-way line in the 69th minute to send a superb pass to Julian Alvarez who scored again for Argentina to gain a 3-0 lead over Croatia.
