Commentator saying that Lionel Messi is the first player to have scored a goal at the World Cup as a teenager, in his twenties and in his thirties.

Refugee.
Inspiration.@VictorMoses was born in Nigeria & fled to the UK after his parents were killed. Today, the 30 million children who have been forcibly displaced, represent 30 million hopes & dreams. #LongestGoal #WorldCup #NGAARG #NGA pic.twitter.com/nhpGY3dC56— UNICEF (@UNICEF) 26 June 2018
Of course Argentina’s winning goal was scored by the left-footed defender, Marcos Rojo, with a right-footed volley in the box. Cause this team only knows how to do banter.
