Mistake in Messi's favor! Was the Argentine's goal unfairly allowed?
Peter Schmeichel thinks so
In the World Cup studio, after the Argentina vs. Austria match, Kasper Schmeichel shared his opinion on the first goal scored.
Details: The legendary Manchester United and Denmark national team goalkeeper, Kasper Schmeichel, believes that Lionel Messi’s record-breaking first goal should not have stood due to a foul.
As the replay clearly shows, Argentina’s midfielder Alexis Mac Allister brings down Austria’s Kevin Schlager, but play is allowed to continue and the legendary Argentine opens the scoring.
After two rounds, Argentina has collected six points in Group J, securing an early playoff spot, with Lionel Messi netting all five of his team’s goals.
