Argentina play Austria in a FIFA World Cup match as Lionel Messi moves closer to the all-time men’s World Cup scoring record. Multiple reports note that Messi is one goal away from surpassing Miroslav Klose’s record. One outlet frames the contest around Messi’s potential achievement, stating that if he scores he will become the tournament’s leading goalscorer in men’s World Cup history. Another outlet similarly highlights the same milestone, emphasizing that Messi requires only one more goal to reach the top of the goalscoring charts for the men’s World Cup. Both accounts present the record as the central individual storyline heading into the game, while also situating the match within Argentina’s tournament ambitions, including the possibility of securing progress to the knockout stage. The reports do not provide conflicting details about the milestone itself, and both agree on the key point that Messi is on the brink of setting a new World Cup men’s goalscoring record with one additional goal.
