Argentina Secures Victory over Australia in Qatar Tournament
In a thrilling encounter seven months ago, Argentina emerged victorious with a 2-1 win over Australia in the round of 16 of the tournament held in Qatar. The Argentine team, led by Lionel Scaloni, currently ranked No. 1 in the world, aims to extend their winning streak against the Socceroos to five matches as they continue their preparations for the upcoming 2026 World Cup qualifiers in September.
The match against Australia showcased Argentina's dominance, with goals from Lionel Messi and Julian Alvarez sealing their triumph. Messi's goal also marked a significant milestone in his illustrious career, as he became only the third player in international football history to reach 100 goals for a national team. His remarkable achievement was highlighted by a memorable hat-trick against Curacao on March 28, elevating his international goal tally to an impressive 102. As Messi edges closer to Ali Daei's record of 109 goals for Iran, only Cristiano Ronaldo remains ahead with over 120 international goals for Portugal.
In addition to his international exploits, Messi reached another remarkable milestone in 2023 by surpassing the 800 career goal mark. His strike against Panama solidified his status as one of the all-time greats, with only Ronaldo having scored more goals for both club and country combined.
Argentina's recent victory over Australia and Messi's individual milestones serve as testaments to the team's prowess and their captain's extraordinary talent. As fans eagerly anticipate the forthcoming World Cup qualifiers, they remain hopeful that Argentina, guided by their star player, will continue their path to success on the international stage.
