00:00Argentina is celebrating not only a historic 2-0 victory over Austria among this World Cup match,
00:06but also the team's star player Lionel Messi just became best all-time goal scorer in World Cup
00:13history. And this was exactly 40 years after Argentine player Diego Maradona scored his
00:19second Hagen-Dazgut goal. More on the celebrations from our correspondent Aya Neshi from Argentina.
00:29The Argentine national team won its second World Cup match,
00:33this time against Austria in a 2-0 victory, led by Albi Celeste captain Lionel Messi.
00:40Great, very exciting. At one point I thought things were getting tough for us,
00:44but in the end Leo stepped up and scored both goals.
00:47I'm really thrilled. I just came straight from work to watch it with my co-workers,
00:52and I'm so happy. Honestly, Messi is a legend. With the first of those goals,
00:57Messi became the all-time leading scorer in World Cup history with 18 goals.
01:01It makes me incredibly proud. I think he deserved it, especially since Diego scored two goals today,
01:08exactly 40 years later. It was exactly the 40th anniversary of the goals scored by the Cosmic
01:13Kite, as Victor Hugo Morales nicknamed Maradona against England. The goal of the century and the
01:19hand of God goal. He's the greatest, the absolute greatest. While we do have a star player on the team
01:28now, personally, I don't think he surpasses him. He doesn't surpass that man from the people,
01:35a true man of the people. There was some tension there between those who were on Maradona's side
01:43and those on Messi's, and they were remembering this. But honestly, it was very exciting, especially
01:49given how the match ended. Do you fuel those tensions? Or are you among those who believe both
01:54are great? No, they're both great. I wouldn't dare choose between them.
01:59With these two victories, the World Cup excitement is building, even though it hasn't quite taken over
02:04the streets yet. But if things keep going this way, it promises to drive the Argentine fans wild as they
02:09begin to dream of a fourth title. The last game seemed pretty lackluster to me. We were just talking
02:15with some friends. But today, I noticed there's more energy, more colors. So I think things are really
02:21heating up. It's exciting, as always, to have a team competing in the World Cup. But the country's
02:28situation is also a concern. Sometimes that overshadows things a bit. But oh well, oh well.
02:37Happy, happy for the players. Happy for the joy they bring us. Happy because it's lifting people out of
02:45the sadness we're going through. But anyway, it's motivating, very motivating.
02:50I think five goals in two games is a very good sign. And I have every confidence that this will
02:56be an
02:56unforgettable World Cup for everyone too. And I believe the fourth title could be on its way.
