World Cup 2026 leaderboard update: Messi sends Argentina through

Lionel Messi's brace against Austria sends Argentina into the Round of 32 and resets the Golden Boot race.

Messi turned Group J into the cleanest line on the board. Argentina's 2-0 win over Austria moved the holders to six points, sent them into the Round of 32, and pushed Lionel Messi to five goals in two games after a brace in Arlington. ESPN's match report also credits Messi with World Cup goals No. 17 and No. 18, moving him past Miroslav Klose for the men's tournament record. 1
This update is cut at 22:00 UTC on June 22. France-Iraq was still listed as delayed/live on ESPN at that cutoff, while Norway-Senegal and Jordan-Algeria had not kicked off, so those matches are held out until final. 2

The match itself was not a stat-padding walkover. Messi missed a ninth-minute penalty, scored in the 38th minute, then added the second in stoppage time. ESPN's match center had Argentina ahead 2.62 to 0.50 on expected goals, with a 5-1 edge in shots on goal. 4

Third-place lane

The safer third-place profiles are already clustering around three points. Sweden and Scotland have the cleanest three-point records, Paraguay is still above the cut despite a -2 goal difference, and Belgium plus Cape Verde are alive on two points with neutral goal difference.

Golden Boot and assist boards

Messi has separated from the field. FOX's Golden Boot tracker has him at five goals, ahead of Jonathan David and Deniz Undav on three. The wider two-goal pack still includes Kylian Mbappé, Erling Haaland, Harry Kane, Mikel Oyarzabal, Ayase Ueda, Cody Gakpo, Brian Brobbey, Matheus Cunha, Vinícius Júnior, and others. 3

Goalkeeper watch

Clean sheets are starting to separate the Golden Glove race from the pure save-volume story. FOX's goalkeeping table lists Emiliano Martínez, Unai Simón, and Raúl Rangel with two clean sheets each. It also shows Eloy Room with 17 saves, the highest save total visible in the fetched goalkeeper table. 8

Next scoreboard pressure points

France-Iraq is the first result to watch after this cutoff, because a final France win would likely add France to the qualified list and change both Group I and the Golden Boot chase if Mbappé's live goal stands. After that, Norway-Senegal will decide whether Group I becomes a two-favorite race or reopens for Senegal. Jordan-Algeria then determines whether Argentina can win Group J before the final matchday. 9
