JAKARTA – The Argentine national team won three goals without reply against Venezuela. Mega star Lionel Messi successfully contributed one goal in the victory.
Argentina hosts their guests for the Qatar 2022 World Cup Qualifiers at La Bombonera Stadium on Saturday, March 26, Indonesian Western Time (WIB). This result did not have much effect on Team Tango because they had previously qualified for the World Cup finals.
Messi and his friends had to take more than half an hour to score the opening goal. Lionel Scaloni's squad could only take the lead over the visitors in the 34th minute through Nicolas Gonzalez's flick which maximized Rodrigo De Paul's pass.
The Tango team then added to their two goals after returning from the dressing room. Angel Di Maria recorded his name on the scoreboard when the normal game was 11 minutes left.
De Paul was again the creator of the goal with a slick through ball. Di Maria, who received a pass, rounded the Venezuelan defender before scoring to put his side 2-0 up.

Brazil and Argentina are two teams that have confirmed tickets to Qatar from the Conmebol zone. Meanwhile, two other countries that have also qualified for the Qatar World Cup finals are Uruguay and Ecuador.
