Lionel Messi now has the World Cup scoring record with 17 goals in his career. He scored in the 38th minute of Argentina's game against Austria after missing a penalty kick in the ninth minute. The record goal for a 1-0 lead came two days before Messi’s 39th birthday, and amid the concern of an ailing father back at home. It was the sixth consecutive World Cup game in which Messi has scored. Messi’s left-footed penalty kick earlier in the match went just wide of the right post.
