Lionel Messi scored the opening goal in Argentina’s 2-1 win over Australia on Saturday, sending the country into the World Cup quarter-finals for the first time. Messi’s 789th goal in his 1,000th career appearance – but his first in the World Cup knockout rounds – helped set up a last-eight meeting with the unbeaten Netherlands on Friday. After some dreadful Australian defending, Julian Alvarez scored the other goal in the 57th minute, before Enzo Fernandez’s 77th-minute deflected own goal set up an unexpectedly tense finish.

A TV presenter showed Messi a video of his wife Antonela Roccuzzo and children (Thiago, Mateo, and Ciro) celebrating his first-half goal after the game. His expression was priceless.
