Messi scored the first goal on a penalty kick, and Angel Di Maria added a second goal before halftime. Before Messi scored his second goal of the night, extra time had to go on for another 30 minutes because Kylian Mbappe scored twice in a short amount of time.
Mbappe scored again from the penalty spot late in the game to send the final to a tough penalty shootout at Lusail Stadium, but Kingsley Coman and Aurelien Tchouameni missed their shots. Lionel Scaloni’s team made history when Montiel kept his cool and put his penalty kick in the bottom corner.
