Lautaro Martinez becomes Argentina’s fourth all-time goalscorer after 2-0 Angola win | OneFootball

Inter captain Lautaro Martinez is now the fourth highest goalscorer of all time for the Argentina national team after his goal during a 2-0 friendly victory over Angola in Luanda on Friday night.

Lautaro moves up Argentina’s all-time top scorer list

Lautaro opened the scoring for his nation with a first-time finish off his right boot within the area just before half-time struck. He also went on to provide the assist for Lionel Messi, who added Argentina’s second deep into the second half.

That was Lautaro’s 36th goal for his nation, which means that he has overtaken Hernan Crespo (35) on Argentina’s list of all-time top goalscorers. El Toro currently sits in fourth place on that list, behind Sergio Aguero on 41, Gabriel Batistuta on 55 and the aforementioned Messi on an uncatchable 115.
