Lionel Messi has tied Landon Donovan’s record for the most assists in international football, marking yet another incredible milestone in his storied career. The legendary Argentine further cemented his status in the sport by contributing his 58th assist during Argentina’s 1-0 victory against Peru in a World Cup qualifying match.
The Crucial Point
As Messi broke through the Peruvian defense and lofted a brilliantly placed pass into the box, his magic began to take effect. With a spectacular overhead kick, Lautaro Martinez took advantage of the situation and gave the Albiceleste the victory. In addition to earning three points, Martinez’s goal put him on par with Diego Maradona’s 32 goals for Argentina in his career.
