Ranking Argentina s 5 best players against Jamaica International Friendly

By Sushan Chakraborty Modified 28 Sep 2022 Follow Us Comment Share Lionel Messi celebrates after scoring for Argentina Looking to extend their unbeaten run to 35 games, Argentina took on Jamaica in their penultimate friendly fixture prior to the 2022 FIFA World Cup on Tuesday night (September 27). La Albiceste gifted fans with a commanding display at the Red Bull Arena in the United States, securing a 3-0 victory. Julian Alvarez found the back of the net once before substitute Lionel Messi stole the show with a breathtaking brace late in the game. Argentina, who beat Honduras 3-0 in their previous friendly on Friday (September 23), started the game slowly. Instead of taking the fight to Jamaica right from the whistle, they invited some pressure, hoping to exploit the space left behind. The strategy did not pay dividends, prompting Lionel Scaloni’s men to get on the offensive. In the 13th minute, La Albiceleste scored a fantastic team goal, with Alvarez applying a simple finish after Lautaro Martinez set him up with a practically unmissable opportunity. Six minutes later, the goalscorer teed up Giovani Lo Celso for a shot. The midfielder set himself up and went for Andre Blake’s goal with a curling effort, only to end up missing the target by a whisker. The Reggae Boyz failed to carve out opportunities of their own in the first half, but they successfully kept Argentina from running away with the game. 433@433Another Messi brace, another win for Argentina 229291051Another Messi brace, another win for Argentina https://t.co/6kVJXhbV0W Argentine boss Scaloni made a couple of changes 11 minutes into the second half, bringing in Messi in Martinez’s place and subbing in Enzo Fernandez for Guido Rodriguez. In the 68th minute, Messi lodged his first shot on target, carrying the ball into the opposition third and letting fly from a tight angle. Blake was forced to turn the ball behind for a corner. Twenty minutes later, the country’s record goalscorer found the back of the net with a scintillating strike from over 20 yards away from the goal. Blake could not react quickly enough to keep the ball from creeping in. Three minutes later, Messi doubled his tally, stunningly scoring from a free kick. Argentina were not at their ruthless best on Tuesday, but Messi’s genius carried them to a comfortable victory. Here are five Argentine players who stood out in La Albiceleste’s friendly win over Jamaica on Tuesday:
