| Messi, Too Hot to handle! |
Messi was the headline act in a wonderful match between the South American giants in New Jersey that saw Messi seal a 4-3 win with a superb third of the night.
Romulo, Oscar and Hulk were on target for Brazil, with Federico Fernandez notching the goal that tied the score at 3-3.
Speaking afterwards, Messi said: "This kind of triumph make us stronger as a team and group and helps us to grow up even more.
"Despite being a friendly, it is always nice to defeat Brazil. I'm also very happy with my three goals, it's not common see seven goals in Argentina versus Brazil."
Argentina fielded a near full-strength side, while Brazil opted for a younger-looking Olympic-style squad.
