Hey Koura – The legend Lionel Messi led his country, Argentina, to a difficult victory against the visiting team, Ecuador, with a clean goal in the 2026 World Cup qualifiers.
The only goal of the match was scored by Messi from a direct free kick near the penalty area. He executed it in a very wonderful way in the 78th minute, without the Ecuadorian goalkeeper being able to save it.
The Argentine national team thus won its first 3 points in the qualifiers for the 2026 World Cup, and will face host Bolivia in the next match.
Here is Messi’s goal:
