The match, held at the Monumental Stadium in Buenos Aires, saw Messi score a hat-trick and provide two assists, contributing to five of Argentina’s six goals.
Messi opened the scoring in the 19th minute, capitalizing on a defensive error to slot the ball into the bottom right corner.
He then set up Lautaro Martinez for the second goal before halftime, and added two more goals in quick succession in the second half to complete his hat-trick.
Julian Alvarez and Thiago Almada also found the net, rounding off the dominant performance.
Argentina’s commanding win not only reasserts their position at the top of the CONMEBOL qualifying table but also showcases Messi’s enduring brilliance and influence on the pitch.
