Argentina continued their build-up to the World Cup, winning their final match before the tournament in Qatar 3-0 over Jamaica. Looking increasingly ominous, Lionel Messi scored twice again.
Although the opposition was not the cream of the international crop, the concerning thing for future opponents was that it only took Messi a 35-minute cameo off the bench to do so.
He doubled Argentinaβs lead with five minutes remaining, which was initially given to them by Manchester Cityβs Julian Alvarez, after a neat finish from the edge of the box.

The match, which took place in New Jersey, saw some bizarre and concerning scenes with pitch invaders, including one who wanted Messi to sign his back.
