Argentina beat Guatemala with 4 goals; Messi's hat trick

The win for Argentina comes at a time when Argentina have failed to win in their last two games against two countries on their continent. Argentina drew in two consecutive matches with Ecuador and Colombia in the last week. Argentina football team manager Alejandro Sabella had success playing some of the new players in the team against Guatemala.

Argentina started the game well. Lionel Messi scored the first goal in the first 15 minutes. Messi scored after teammate Lavazzi passed the ball to his feet. Augusto Fernandez scored the second goal for Argentina. His goal in the 35th minute gave Argentina a 2-0 lead. In the 39th minute of the match, the referee gave a penalty for Argentina due to the mistake of Vasquez, the defender of Guatemala. In the 40th minute of the game, Lionel Messi scored from the penalty to lead the team to Argentina by 3 goals. Despite continuing the intense attack against Guatemala in the first half, the Argentines had to leave the field with a 3-0 lead.

Three minutes into the second half, he fooled the Guatemalan defenders and scored his third goal. Messi, who was out of the main eleven in 2 consecutive matches, destroyed the opposing team Guatemala after returning to the team.

Argentina's victory over Guatemala, who are far behind in the FIFA rankings, snapped a two-game losing streak. At the same time, Messi's hat-trick makes him a new record. The record for being the highest goalscorer for Argentina. Currently, Lionel Messi needs only 12 more goals to surpass Argentina's top scorer Gabriel Batistuta with 56 goals. It is only a matter of time before the in-form 25-year-old football wizard does that one day.
