After Lionel Messi scored the first goal from the box following Ousmane Dembele's foul on Angel Di Maria in the box, the Juventus star scored his maiden FIFA World Cup 2022 final goal from Alexis Mac-Allister's spectacular assist.
With around 10 minutes remaining in the first half, Angel Di Maria increased Argentina's lead to two goals over defending champions France with his commendable finish. But, an Argentina goal without Messi's involvement is quiet impossible.
