In the world of football, few moments are as electrifying as when Lionel Messi has the ball at his feet. On September 7, the maestro did not disappoint, orchestrating a thrilling 1-0 win for Argentina against a resilient Ecuador in the 2026 FIFA World Cup qualifiers.

On a chilly evening in Buenos Aires, Estadio Más Monumental was alive with anticipation.

The stakes were high, and as history has shown, such moments are tailor-made for Messi.

The echoes of Argentina's recent World Cup victory, just nine months prior, reverberated across the stadium.

Now, the quest for a spot in the 2026 World Cup in the USA began, and expectations were soaring.

Transitioning from European football to MLS can be challenging, but not for Messi. At Inter Miami, he's been nothing short of sensational. Despite the change in scenery and opposition, Messi's unparalleled skills have shone bright, making him a crucial player in both the club and international arenas.

Reliving the Match Drama

From the onset, it was evident that Ecuador had one primary strategy – to defensively stonewall Argentina. Their defenders, with a gladiatorial spirit, threw themselves at every ball, denying Argentina's attackers clear sights at goal. Among the few that came close, Lautaro Martinez's strike that hit the post in the first half stands out.

But as the clock ticked, Messi began weaving his magic. His initial effort in the 69th minute was thwarted by Galindez. Yet, true to his style, he persisted. The decisive moment came when Martinez was fouled just outside the penalty area, setting the stage for Messi's signature move. With the precision only he can deliver, Messi curled the ball into the net, sending fans into euphoric celebrations.
