Lionel Messi News: Scores on nine shots

Messi scored one goal to go with nine shots (six on goal), nine crosses (four accurate) and seven corners in Friday's 3-2 win over Cape Verde.

Messi would hit the back of the net first in Friday's contest, with the forward scoring in the 29th minute of the gritty match. That said, the forward would take another eight shots and put six on target, but couldn't find the back of the net again. He now sits at the top of the World Cup Golden Boot standings once again, with seven, one better than Kylian Mbappe.
