The Argentina star scored twice to become the first player in history to reach 20 World Cup qualifying goals in South America
The Barcelona star reached that mark with two brilliant goals to help
his side climb back into the lead against Ecuador after falling behind
in the first minute against Ecuador.
Romario Ibarra had the home side in front 40 seconds in, but with Argentina needing a win to secure a place at the 2018 World Cup, Messi quickly worked his magic, linking up with Ángel Di María in the 12th minute to pull his team level.
But the 30-year-old wasn’t done there.
Just over seven minutes later he had his nation in front and on pace to claim their place in Russia with a powerful left-footed drive into the corner.
The second goal was his 20th all-time in World Cup qualifying for Argentina, leaving him as the first man in the region to reach that mark.
