Argentina Beats Puerto Rico 6-0 in Relocated Friendly
Lionel Messi had two assists and helped start a play that led to another goal, as reigning World Cup champion Argentina beat Puerto Rico 6-0.
The match was originally scheduled to be played in Chicago, but was relocated to Fort Lauderdale, Fla. due to low ticket sales and immigration crackdown concerns.
- Messi set up Gonzalo Montiel’s score in the first half with a quick lob.
- He also had a back pass that created Lautaro Martínez’s second goal of the night in the 83rd minute.
- Alexis Mac Allister had two goals for Argentina, which also benefited from an own goal midway through the second half.
Officials in Chicago said low ticket sales were to blame; officials with the Argentine soccer federation said the immigration crackdown in Chicago was responsible.
