Lionel Messi finally scored a goal in the World Cup knockout round on Saturday as he inspired Argentina to a 2-1 win over Australia in a quarter-final clash with the Netherlands, who had earlier proved too strong for the United States. . The Argentina captain made his 1000th career appearance with his 789th goal to open the scoring in the first half at Doha's Ahmed Bin Ali Stadium. It was a superb finish from a player making his fifth World Cup appearance but could not find the net in a knockout tie at the tournament, looking to win for the first time at the age of 35.
It looked as if Argentina were going to run away from the game when Julian Alvarez took advantage of a goalkeeping error to double their lead just before the hour mark.
Yet an Australia side who had already defied all expectations in Qatar were relegated to just reaching the last 16.
They pulled one back when Craig Goodwin's shot from Enzo Fernandez was deflected into his own goal and only a last-ditch challenge from Lisandro Martinez prevented Scotland's Dundee United's Aziz Behich from scoring a superb late equaliser.

"It was a really physical game but I'm very happy with the win and we took another small step forward," Messi told Argentine television.
