比赛进行到第64分钟,梅西世界波破门,打入个人世界杯第8个进球,进球数追平了马拉多纳和C罗,同时21次世界杯出场也追平了马拉多纳。不仅如此,梅西还收获了第13场世界杯胜利,超越马拉多纳成为队史第一。

除有一粒进球外,梅西还在比赛最后时刻(第87分钟)助攻恩佐-费尔南德斯弧线球破门。据FIFA世界杯官方统计,凭借这记助攻,梅西成为首位连续5届世界杯都有助攻的球员。

With the deadlock broken and space finally starting to open up, Enzo Fernandez curled in a brilliant first goal for his country in the 87th minute to ensure the vital three points.
赛后,世界各大媒体也坐不住了。阿根廷《奥莱报》在报道中表示阿根廷队“梦想继续”:“即便并不处于巅峰,梅西也足以决定比赛。
《卫报》表示:“梅西不仅在和对手战斗,也是在和时间的沙漏战斗。无论对哪一个敌人,他都是胜利的一方,也让那些害怕他黯然退场的担忧显得可笑。”
This might just be his World Cup after all. Lionel Messi must battle football opponents and the sands of time in equal measure but he dismissed both with a flourish that, whatever becomes of him and Argentina from here, made a mockery of fears he would leave this stage quietly.
BBC评论称:“梅西再一次肩负着阿根廷的期望,在国家队最为需要他时挺身而出,用他那标志性的魔法,改变了比赛的走势,保留了阿根廷的希望。”

Messi was, once again, shouldering the burden of Argentina's expectations - and once again he delivered by pulling out a piece of trademark magic when they needed it most to change the course of an attritional game, and perhaps even change the course of his team's World Cup in the process.
赛后,梅西通过社交平台庆祝胜利:“今天我们必须取胜,而且我们能够做到。另一场决赛将于周三举行,我们都必须继续并肩作战。”

梅西赛后接受阿根廷电视台采访时表示,“这是一场让我们士气振奋的艰难比赛,因为墨西哥踢得非常好,上半场我们踢得很激进,下半场我们冷静了一些,找回了自己的节奏。”
"It was a complicated game to lift ourselves up for, because Mexico played really well," Messi told Argentine TV. "In the first half, we played with intensity, and in the second half, we calmed down a bit and we came back to ourselves.
“我们知道今天必须要赢得胜利,世界杯又一次开始,我们知道该怎么做。我们现在不能放松警惕,接下来每一场都是决赛。我们不能出错。”

"We knew that today we had to win, that another World Cup started for us and we knew what to do. We cannot let our guard down now. We have all finals left to play; we cannot err."
梅西也凭借精彩的进球和助攻当选了本场比赛最佳球员。这是梅西第7次在世界杯中当选全场最佳,追平了C罗保持的纪录。C罗在葡萄牙首轮3-2击败加纳的比赛中当选全场最佳,刚刚刷新了纪录。
