Messi stars as Argentina beat Angola in friendly | OneFootball

Lionel Messi was the star of the show as he scored and provided an assist to help Argentina beat Angola 2-0.

The opener arrived in the 43rd minute when Lionel Messi threaded the pass for Lautaro Martínez, who finished cleanly.

Messi himself sealed the win in the 82nd minute, collecting a knock-down from a counter-attack and curling a shot into the net.

Argentina maintained dominance throughout, holding about two-thirds of possession and restricting Angola to few clear chances.

Angola showed determination on home soil but lacked the cutting edge to trouble the world champions.
