• Messi is one of a kind. Last week, the Argentine legend surpassed Fontaine, Gerd Müller, and Ronaldo. Today, his record of 16 World Cup goals, which he shared with Miroslav Klose, was also broken.

    After missing a penalty, Messi scored twice, meaning he has accounted for all five of Argentina's goals in the tournament, while Argentina remains clean sheet. Defending champions Argentina have secured their place in the round of 32 with a game to spare, and will face Jordan in their final group stage match on Saturday.

  • Earlier that day, Messi challenged him, but Mbappe proved he was fully capable of competing with the Argentine talent. The explosive captain made his 100th international appearance, scoring a goal in each half to help France advance to the round of 32.
    Michel Olisse also performed admirably, providing two assists, while Ousmane Dembélé scored the third goal. France will now face Norway on Friday in a match that will determine who advances from the group stage.

    Group J New York New Jersey Stadium

  • In the goal-fest, Erling Haaland and Ismaila Sarr both scored twice in four matches, helping Norway narrowly defeat Senegal in New Jersey, New York. Julian Ryerson was forced off injured early in the game, but his substitute, Marcus Pedersen, stepped up to open the scoring for Norway, giving them a slight lead going into halftime.
    Haaland extended the lead to 2-0 just three minutes into the second half, but Sarr quickly responded. Nearly an hour into the game, the Manchester City striker again made it two goals, before Sarr pulled one back in stoppage time. Norway have also advanced to the knockout stage, but are ranked second behind France on goal difference.
    Ranking

  • According to statistics, Lionel Messi became the third player, after Just Fontaine of France (1958) and Jairzinho of Brazil (1970), to score in six consecutive World Cup matches.
    Mbappe has scored two or more goals in a single World Cup match six times in history—more than any other player.
    This victory means that all four of Norway's wins in the World Cup have been against teams from four different continental federations.
