Lionel Messi has surpassed Miroslav Klose’s 16-goal record at the World Cup with a brace in Argentina’s win over Austria. The first goal came in the 39th minute with a brilliant left-foot finish. He added a second in injury time by pouncing on a rebound after setting up a counter. Messi had earlier missed a penalty and a few chances but ends the group stage match with five goals in this tournament.
