Summary
Argentina clawed their way into the Round of Sixteen with a dramatic 3-2 win over Cape Verde in extra time, thanks to an own goal in the 111th minute. Lionel Messi opened the scoring with his 20th World Cup goal — and seventh in the tournament — extending his record and putting him ahead of Mbappé in the Golden Boot race. Cape Verde, playing their first-ever World Cup, stunned the world with relentless resilience, tying the match twice and forcing Argentina to sweat it out. Their 40-year-old goalkeeper Vozinha made 10 saves — five on Messi — becoming a hero for the smallest nation ever to reach the knockout stage. Though they fell short, Cape Verde earned global admiration for their grit. Argentina now faces Egypt in Atlanta, who edged Australia in a penalty shootout.
