A spectacular performance by Lionel Messi has helped Argentina to start the 2026 World Cup on the right foot, after beating Algeria 3-0 in their first match of the tournament.
“Pleshti” has left behind all doubts about his form, showing that he is again decisive for “Albiceleste” and can make the difference again. He managed to beat Luka Zidane with a powerful shot from outside the area in the first half as the personal display continued in the second half of the game.
Initially, Messi proved to be able to follow the action and push the ball into the net after Zidan had not punched it properly, while later with another perfect shot on the edge of the area, he sealed the final result 3-0.
