LIONEL MESSI has fired his team into the quarter-finals of the World Cup as Argentina survived a late Australian fight-back.
Messi, playing in his 1,000th career game, made it 1-0 in the first half before Julian Alvarez doubled Argentina’s lead.
Craig Goodwin then got one back for the Socceroos but they held on for a 2-1 win and a place in the World Cup last eight.
