He did it. Lionel Messi scored his 17th goal in the World Cup this Monday and now alone rules the individual scoring table.
The historic goal came in the 38th minute of the match against Austria in Dallas, in the match corresponding to matchday 2 of group J, when Messi entered the area and finished off a cross with his left foot at the height of the penalty mark. The shot had enough force and placement that goalkeeper Schlager could not reach it on his right side.
