Story By: BBC Sports

Lionel Messi scored twice as Argentina produced a comfortable 3-0 win over Honduras to extend their unbeaten run to 34 games.

The 35-year-old was at the centre of the action for the opener, lobbing the ball over the defence to Papu Gomez, who gifted Lautaro Martinez a tap-in.

The Paris St-Germain forward added a third with a superb chip over the keeper’s head after a defensive mix-up.
