Messi netted a double as Argentina secured a 2-0 victory over Austria at the AT&T Stadium in Arlington.

As a result, Argentina have secured their progression to the Round of 32, joining the likes of Mexico, United States, Germany, France and Norway.

Messi admitted he was frustrated after missing a penalty during Argentina’s World Cup clash, but the captain was pleased with the team’s response as they fought back to secure a crucial victory and strengthen their hopes of progressing further in the tournament

“Today there was a moment where I was very angry about the penalty because I missed and I struck it very badly,” Messi told reporters.

“Luckily we were able to turn the situation around, take the lead and take three very important points.”
