Giovani Lo Celso became the first Argentina player other than Lionel Messi to score in this World Cup as the defending champions finished the group stage with a three-game sweep after a 3-1 win over Jordan.
Lo Celso, in his first World Cup start, put Argentina ahead when he scored on a direct free kick in the 19th minute. Messi added one of his own after entering the game in the second half, and the top scorer in World Cup history extended his mark to 19 goals. “I am very happy for him, for the moment he is having,” Lo Celso said about their captain.
