Lionel Messi enjoyed an eventful evening on Tuesday, as Argentina defeated Jamaica 3-0 in a friendly in New York's Red Bull Arena.
Argentina needed two late goals from captain Messi, 35, to secure victory against a Jamaica side that included Michail Antonio, Ravel Morrison, Adrian Mariappa, Leon Bailey and Bobby Decordova-Reid. Manchester City striker Julian Alvarez also scored in the first half.
Messi was undoubtedly the star attraction in New York and his first goal was simply brilliant. The seven-time Ballon d'Or winner picked up the ball and drove at the defence in trademark fashion before finding the bottom corner with a strike from the edge of the box.
