ARLINGTON, United States (AFP) — Lionel Messi said he was “very angry” with himself for missing a penalty and channelled it into scoring twice to make World Cup history on Monday.
The Argentina captain hit a brace to give the holders a 2-0 win over Austria in Texas, his first goal making him the leading scorer ever at the World Cup with 17 goals.
He added number 18 in second-half injury time to propel Argentina into the last 32.
