Argentina fans celebrate group-stage sweep at DU’s TSC

Argentina supporters gathered at the Teacher-Student Centre (TSC) of Dhaka University for a celebration after the reigning world champions secured a commanding 3-1 victory over Jordan to storm the FIFA World Cup knockout stage unbeaten.

The win saw Argentina finish the group stage with a perfect nine points from three matches, sealing qualification for the Round of 32 as group champions.

Waving sky-blue and white flags, chanting slogans and applauding their team's dominant performance, hundreds of fans turned the TSC premises into a festive gathering.

The atmosphere reflected the excitement of supporters as Argentina completed an unbeaten group-stage campaign with three consecutive victories.

Argentine superstar Lionel Messi became the first player to score in seven consecutive FIFA World Cup matches after netting in the game, extending his all-time tournament scoring record.

The 39-year-old scored his 19th World Cup goal in the 80th minute with a precise free kick after being fouled just outside the penalty area.

His low strike slipped through two Jordan defenders and found the left corner of the net.
