History was made at the 2026 World Cup, as Argentina and Algeria went head-to-head for the first time in a competitive match, with their only previous meeting being a friendly almost 20 years ago.

There were seven goals scored in their friendly clash back in June 2007, with a certain Lionel Messi netting twice, while Carlos Tevez was also on the scoresheet for La Albiceleste in what proved to be a 4-3 success.

Messi then scored a brilliant hat-trick to help Argentina record a 3-0 win over Algeria in their meeting in the group stage of the 2026 World Cup.
