📋 Messi in search of the record? Argentina scheduled for second test in the World Cup
Argentina face Austria in the second round of the World Cup group stage, with Messi looking to become the highest scorer in the competition's history.
Argentina and Austria are preparing for an exciting duel this Monday (22) in the second round of the group stage of the World Cup, which will be held in Dallas. The two teams, who emerged victorious in their initial matches in the tournament, are looking for a place in the knockout stage. The South Americans beat Algeria, while the Europeans defeated Jordan.
Expectations are high, especially for Lionel Messi, who starts the match. If he scores, he will become the top scorer in World Cup history, surpassing the current record of 16 goals, which he shares with Germany's Miroslav Klose. Argentina's lineup brings a change, with Molina taking Montiel's place on the side. Austria also made changes to the team that played in their debut, adopting a formation with three defenders and a new striker, Gregoritsch, who replaces Kalajdzic.
