Con cinco goles de Lionel Messi, Argentina venció a Estonia y continúa su tour de la alegría.

Prior to Argentina's friendly against Estonia at El Sadar in Pamplona on Sunday, Lionel Messi had only once registered five goals in a single game throughout his illustrious career. That was back in 2012 when Barcelona crushed Bayer Leverkusen 7-1 in the Champions League Round of 16.
Con un penal de Santi Muñoz y un remate que por poco no saca llamas de Jorge Ruvalcaba, la selección sub 21 de México firmó una victoria por 2-0 sobre Indonesia, en el tradicional torneo Maurice Revello.

Indonesia no fue un rival muy incómodo para México. Nunca desafió el control de balón ni tampoco creó oportunidades que pusieran nerviosa a su línea defensiva.
