The goal was Messi's 19th in the tournament, making him the first player to score in seven consecutive games. Argentina topped Group J, with Messi scoring a total of five goals in the first and second matches. Against Algeria, he scored his first hat-trick at the World Cup, equaling then-record holder Miroslav Klose's 16 goals. He added two more goals in the following match against Austria.

The last game in which Messi did not score in the World Cup was against Poland in the group stage of the 2022 tournament, in which he also missed a penalty kick. With 13 goals in his last 10 games and eight in his last four, Messi also scored on a penalty and extra time in Argentina's final victory over France.
