After four World Cups without converting in the “kill-kills”, the Argentine 10 scored his 12th goal in 5 World Cups, sixth in Qatar and becomes the second player in history to score in all direct elimination matches in a Cup of the world. The first was the Hungarian György Sárosi in 1938.
In addition, he is the first Argentine, since Mexico 86 and Jorge Burruchaga’s goal, to score a goal in a World Cup final.
