Messi scores a dramatic equalizer for his 8th goal of the tournament! He takes a step closer to becoming the top scorer, taking sole possession of first place with 21 World Cup goals. [CONCACAF FIFA World Cup]
Scored 20 goals at the World Cup: Lionel Messi sets a new record The Argentina captain scored the anniversary goal in the 2026 World Cup round of 32 match against Cape Verde, which the Argentines won 3-2. The Argentine also took part in the decisive goal in extra time. After his corner kick, Cristian Romero shot on goal, and the ball, after a rebound from defender Dini Borges, ended up in the net. Borges was credited with an own goal. Before the start of the tournament, Messi had 13 goals at the World Cup, but during the 2026 World Cup he overtook Miroslav Klose and became the top scorer in the history of the World Cup. Currently, the top five scorers in the World Cup are as follows: Lionel Messi - 20 goals; Kylian Mbappe - 18; Miroslav Klose - 16; Ronaldo - 15; Gerd Muller - 14. In addition, after the round of 16 matches, Messi again topped the list of top scorers in the 2026 World Cup with 7 goals, one goal ahead of Mbappe.
