The forward of the Argentina national team, Lionel Messi, did not take the eleven-meter shot, intended in the 37th minute of the game against the goal of the Polish national team, due to a violation by the goalkeeper Wojciech Szczesna.

Messi became the second player in the history of the World Cup who did not take two penalties in the entire history of his appearances at the tournament. In 2018, Messi failed to score against Iceland.

Ghana's Asamoah Gyan became the first player not to score two penalties at the World Cup. In 2006, he failed to score "from the spot" in the goal of the Czech national team, and in 2010, he did not take a penalty in the game against the Uruguayan national team.
