世界杯：梅西梅开二度破纪录，阿根廷二比零胜奥地利提前出线

Today we're going to talk about a very special World Cup match.

This match is Argentina versus Austria.

Let's give the result first: Argentina won, two to zero.

What made this match special is connected to one person.

That person is Messi.

Messi is one of the most famous soccer players in the world.

In China, almost everyone who watches soccer knows him.

He plays very intelligently and has scored many, many goals.

Although he's no longer young, he's still extremely good.

So many people watched this match just to see Messi play.

And Messi didn't let everyone down.

As the match began, both teams played cautiously.

Austria is a good team too, and they defended seriously.

So at first, it wasn't easy for Argentina to score either.

At around the halfway point of the match, Argentina got a chance.

It was at this moment that Messi scored a goal.

One to zero — Argentina led.

Seeing Messi score, the people in the stadium roared with excitement.

After scoring this goal, Argentina played more smoothly.

Austria wanted to score too, but Argentina defended well.

And so the match went on to the very end.

Near the end of the match, Messi scored again.

This was his second goal of the day.

A player scoring two goals in one match is called "méi kāi èr dù" in Chinese.

It's a very common phrase, used specially to praise a player who scored twice.

Messi's brace this time sent the whole crowd into a frenzy.

Two to zero — Argentina had the win firmly in hand.

In the end, the match finished two to zero, with Argentina winning.

However, what's most memorable about this match isn't just the score.

It's that Messi set a new record in this match.

After scoring these two goals, Messi became the all-time top scorer in World Cup history.

That is to say, among everyone who has ever played at a World Cup, Messi has scored the most.

This is a truly remarkable record.

You should know that the World Cup happens only once every four years, so scoring is already very hard.

Many famous players play their whole careers and can't score even a few World Cup goals.

Yet Messi has scored more than anyone, which is extremely difficult.

This shows that he truly is a great player.

What's even rarer is that he's been playing for many years and is no longer young.

To still be this strong at this age — the whole world admires him for it.

After the match, many people celebrated for Messi.

Some said this was Messi's moment.

Others said that getting to see Messi break the record in person was so lucky.

Online, news and photos about Messi were everywhere.

Many Chinese fans also stayed up late to watch this match, sharing the joy for him.

For Argentina, this victory was very important too.

Because by winning this match, Argentina reached the knockout stage early.

The "knockout stage" is where losing one match means going home; it's more important than the group stage.

Argentina are the defending World Cup champions and very strong.

With Messi, they've always been big favorites for the title.

Now that they've qualified smoothly, the whole team is very happy.

Of course, Austria, who lost, didn't play badly either.

The team they faced is one of the strongest in the world.

Although they lost, they kept fighting and didn't give up.

Actually, this is the great part of soccer.

A great player can often step up at the crucial moment.

Today, Messi used two goals to help Argentina win the match.

And he also wrote new history for himself.

Alright, that's the Argentina versus Austria match.

Argentina beat Austria two to zero and reached the knockout stage early.

Messi scored a brace and became the all-time top scorer at the World Cup.

For those who love Messi, this was truly an unforgettable night.

Thank you for listening; see you next time.
