Paris Saint-Germain superstar Lionel Messi was at the heart of proceedings once more as Argentina defeated South American rivals Honduras on Friday evening, only for a mass brawl to break out during the first-half of the showdown in Florida.
The seven-time Ballon d’Or winner was on top form as Argentina secured a 3-0 victory - Messi himself getting two goals, with Inter Milan's Lautaro Martinez also getting in on the action. Despite the relatively comfortable victory, the Honduran team took a somewhat illegal approach to halting Messi in his tracks.
During the first-half with the scores at 1-0 after Martinez’s opener, the PSG forward found himself on the right-flank and was set to embark on one of his trademark dribbles. Honduras midfielder Deiby Flores had other ideas though.
