Lionel Messi broke another personal record as he led Argentina to victory over Australia
Argentina captain Lionel Messi showed that he has no plans of slowing down despite leaving Europe for the MLS, reaching a personal milestone as the World Champions cruised to a 2-0 friendly win over Australia.
Messi scored inside two minutes to give the Albiceleste the lead, and in doing so scored the fastest goal of his storied career in both the international and club spheres.
Despite playing with a reasonably weakened team and giving a debut to Manchester United's Alejandro Garnacho, Argentina cruised to a 2-0 victory thanks to a second goal from Real Betis midfielder German Pezzella
