It’s a'Argentina at Jannik Sinner: Lautaro Martinez in history
Argentina overwhelms Puerto Rico with a peremptory 6-0 in the friendly played in Miami. At ‘Chase Stadium’ the Albiceleste ended the first half ahead 3-0. In the second half, Lautaro Martinez entered and went on a rampage with a brace in five minutes.
It took only 14 minutes for the Argentine national team to take the lead with a header by Mac Allister, on an assist from Nico Gonzalez. Nine minutes later, the Albiceleste doubled with Montiel, on an assist from Messi before Mac Allister himself scored the hat trick with a winning saucer.
The Albiceleste scored the third with a winning saucer.
In the second half, an Echevarria own goal put Scaloni’s men up 4-0. Then Lautaro Martinez, who took over at 61′ in place of Jose Lopez, goes wild: at 79′ he scores from two steps on an assist from Nico Gonzalez, at 84’84’ he closes the score with a right-footed low shot, on an assist from Messi.
The team is now on the verge of a three-goal win.
Thanks to this double, the Inter striker becomes the fourth top scorer in the history of the Argentine national team with 45 goals, joining Hernan Crespo in the standings. Lautaro will only return to Italy on Thursday, three days away from the big match between Roma and Inter, scheduled for Saturday night at 8:45 p.m. at the Stadio Olimpico.
