Lionel Messi experienced another instance of missed opportunity during the match between Argentina and Egypt, contributing to an undesired record in World Cup history. The Argentine captain was unable to convert a crucial penalty awarded to Argentina. Egyptian goalkeeper Mostafa Shobeir successfully anticipated the shot, making the save with excellent timing.
The penalty was awarded after an irregular intervention by Haissem Hassan against Nicolas Tagliafico within the box, presenting Argentina with a valuable chance to equalize early in the match. Despite the opportunity, Messi failed to convert the penalty kick. This missed penalty marks the fourth time Messi has failed to score out of eight penalties taken throughout his World Cup career, establishing a notable record.
