Argentina vs Austria, FIFA World Cup 2026 Live Score. The best football matches tonight as Lionel Messi’s Argentina take on Austria

The defending champions started their campaign in dominant fashion, registering a convincing 3-0 win over Algeria. Lionel Scaloni’s men once again showed their attacking depth and composure, cementing their status as one of the favorites to retain the title. Captain Lionel Messi also added another milestone to his glittering career, with his goal against Algeria bringing him level with Miroslav Klose among the top scorers in World Cup history.

Austria, on the other hand, will head into the competition full of confidence after beating World Cup newcomers Jordan 3-1 in their opening game. Despite the scoreline, Ralf Rangnick’s side faced a tough test and had to dig deep before sealing victory.

History is slightly in Argentina’s favor in this fixture. The two teams have faced each other six times in senior men’s international football, with the South Americans winning three encounters, while Austria emerged victorious twice. A meeting ended in a stalemate.

With both teams winning their opening matches, another win would ensure progress to the knockout rounds and provide a huge boost heading into the final group fixture.
