GolVolt Recap

Argentina secured a 2-0 Group J victory over Austria at Dallas Stadium, relying entirely on the singular brilliance of Lionel Messi. The captain brushed off a ninth-minute penalty miss to break the deadlock at the 38-minute mark. The contest then devolved into a fractured affair defined by the referee's notebook, with Austria's Stefan Posch and Konrad Laimer joining Argentina's Facundo Medina and Leandro Paredes on yellow cards. Deep into stoppage time at 90+5, Messi struck a second time to seal the result.
