Argentina beat Netherlands in a penalty shootout after a dramatic 2-2 draw to reach FIFAWorldCup semi-final
It is only the second time Argentina have reached the last four since 1990. In 2014, Messi was part of the team that lost to Germany in the final.
When Lautaro Martinez's penalty hit the net, Messi didn't head to the striker, unlike the rest of the team, but sprinted to his goalkeeper and jumped into his arms. It took him to 10 goals in the World Cup, tied with Gabriel Batistuta for the most for Argentina, and 94 goals in total in his 169 international games.
It was the latest second-half goal scored in a knockout-stage game at a World Cup and was cleverly worked, with Teun Koopmeiners feinting to curl a free kick into the area only to play it short and deceive the Argentine defense. Weghorst took a touch, held off his marker and slotted home a finish on the stretch.
