Messi has broken plenty of records during his career, and this latest achievement is another reminder of why many consider him one of the greatest footballers of all time.

The Argentina star went into the match against Austria tied as the World Cup's top scorer, with 16 goals.

Last week, Messi became the first player in history to feature at six different men's World Cups - with his first-ever tournament strike coming in 2006.

Now, twenty years later, Messi got his 17th and 18th goals at the tournament, moving him two clear of the record.

What makes the record even more impressive is that Messi turns 39 years old later this week.

Argentina's 2-0 win against Austria means that the current World Cup holders are safely into the last 32 of the tournament.

Kylian Mbappé also scored twice in France's second group match against Iraq.

The Real Madrid star gave France a first-half lead, thanks to a stunning left-footed strike from the edge of the penalty area.

However, the game became the first match at this World Cup to be interrupted by severe weather, with the second half beginning more than two hours late because of lightning strikes in the area.

That didn't stop the World Cup runners-up, with Mbappé scoring again half way through the second half.

He now moves joint second in the all-time World Cup goalscoring list, with 16 goals - just two behind Messi's new record.

Current Ballon d'Or holder Ousmane Dembélé scored France's third - with his first major tournament goal.

The result means that France sealed a 3-0 win and also sailed into the last 32.

Erling Haaland scored twice as Norway also booked their place in the last 32 of the World Cup with a 3-2 victory over Senegal.

After just two games in the tournament, the Manchester City striker has now scored more goals than any other Norway player in World Cup history - with four goals.

In fact, Haaland is in great form at the moment, having found the net in Norway's last 12 competitive matches.

It certainly seemed that the Norway players were pretty happy to have reached the knockout stage of the World Cup.

The team performed their Viking-style rowing celebration on the pitch after beating Senegal.

It sets up an exciting final group game for Norway, who play France later this week, where Erling Haaland will come up against Kylian Mbappé.

The match will also decide who finishes top of Group I.
