It took Lionel Messi 10 minutes to break an Argentina record at the 2022 FIFA World Cup.
The 35-year-old handed Argentina an early after the Albiceleste were awarded a penalty for a foul on Leandro Paredes.
The Argentina stepped up and converted calmly to score his 92nd international goal for his home country.

As a consequence, Messi became the first Argentina player to score a goal at four different World Cup tournaments, netting at the editions in 2006, 2014, 2018 and 2022.
Overall, he has now scored seven goals at World Cup finals, as many as his longstanding rival Cristiano Ronaldo.
Messi becomes only the fifth player in World Cup history to score at four different tournaments, joining Uwe Seeler (Germany), Pele (Brazil), Cristiano Ronaldo (Portugal) and Miroslav Klose.
Before kick-off, Messi already set a new Argentina record after becoming the Albiceleste player to represent his country in five different World Cups.
