Argentina national team striker Lautaro Martinez has scored his first-ever goal at a World Cup. The milestone occurred during the third matchday of the 2026 World Cup group stage against Jordan, which ended in a 3-1 victory for Argentina.
Martinez doubled his team's lead by successfully converting a penalty in the 31st minute. For the 28-year-old forward, this represents his first goal on the global stage. It is worth noting that during the 2022 tournament, the Argentine played in six matches but finished the campaign without finding the back of the net.
The match also featured a significant achievement by Lionel Messi, who set a unique World Cup record.
