About this match

In 1978, Argentina defeated Austria 2-1 in the group stage on the way to winning their first World Cup title as hosts. Nearly five decades later, the rematch could mark the final chapter of Lionel Messi's World Cup career — the greatest player in history seeking to end his journey on the stage that crowned him in 2022. For the Austrians, it is a chance to avenge that Buenos Aires defeat that paved the way for the Argentine celebration.
