Lionel Messi has set the FIFA World Cup 2026 on fire. 39 year old Messi is making record after record in every match. He scored a hat-trick in the first match against Algeria. Messi became the oldest player to achieve this feat in the World Cup. After this he scored two goals against Austria and became the highest scorer in World Cup history. Now he has achieved another big achievement in the last group match against Jordan.
Messi has become the first player in the world to score goals in seven consecutive World Cup matches. He came on the field as a substitute in the second half and achieved this feat by scoring a goal from a free-kick. Also, he has taken his number of goals in the tournament to 6. In the match, Argentina defeated Jordan 3-1 and topped its group.
Portugal-Colombia match draw
The teams of Portugal and Colombia had already confirmed their place in the knockout round before the start of the match, but now the competition was to become the group winner. The match ended in a goalless draw, leaving Colombia in first place in the group. There was a lot of discussion about this match but it did not reach the height of excitement at any time. Colombia won two of the three matches and drew one and finished the group stage with seven points. Portugal finished second with five points with one win and a draw.
In the round of 32, Colombia will face Ghana, who lost 2-1 to Croatia on Saturday. Veteran footballer Cristiano Ronaldo’s title contender Portugal’s team, being the runner-up in the group, will now have to face a tough challenge from Croatia.
Both Portugal and Colombia teams tried their best to score goals. Bruno Fernandes came close to giving Portugal the lead in the first half but was stopped by Camilo Vargas. Colombia also kept Portugal goalkeeper Diogo Cousteau busy, making six saves, more than the total he made in the team’s first two games.
