NewsWorld Cup: Alexis Mac Allister helps Argentina secure spot in last 32
Alexis Mac Allister featured as Argentina beat Austria 2-0 and secured a place in the World Cup knockout stage.
Lionel Messi - who had missed a penalty in the opening 10 minutes - was twice on target as he made history by becoming the competition's all-time leading scorer (18).
The forward netted in either half of Monday’s Group J encounter.
Mac Allister completed the full game in Dallas in the heart of midfield for his nation and the victory confirmed their passage through to the last 32 of the tournament.
Argentina will now finish off their involvement in the group stage when they take on Jordan in the early hours of Sunday (June 28).
