The Argentina national team welcomed Venezuela to Buenos Aires for their final home fixture of the FIFA World Cup qualifying. As a result, La Albiceleste wanted to pick up the win in front of the home crowd.
Argentina led 2-0, and Paris Saint-Germain forward Angel Di Maria provided the assist for his fellow capital club teammate Lionel Messi who would put the exclamation point in the 3-0 win over Venezuela.
Messi and Argentina will close out the qualifying rounds in Ecuador and then prepare for the FIFA World Cup in Qatar.
