Lionel Messi and Argentina advanced to the World Cup Round of 16 by beating Cape Verde 3-2 in extra time on Friday at Miami Gardens, Fla. Messi scored early in regulation in the 29th minute for Argentina, his 20th career World Cup goal, extending his record and pushing him ahead of France’s Kylian Mbappé on the all-time list. The go-ahead score for Argentina came in the 111th minute and was credited as an own-goal after Cristian Romero’s header deflected off Cape Verde’s Diney Borges. Argentina will face Egypt in Atlanta on Tuesday.
