Messi notches two assists as Argentina beats Puerto Rico, 6-0, in Fort Lauderdale friendly | Sports

FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla. — Lionel Messi returned to the Argentina starting lineup on Tuesday night for a friendly against Puerto Rico at Chase Stadium, three nights after delivering two goals and an assist for Inter Miami in a 4-0 win over Atlanta United on the same field.

Messi did not score in 90 minutes against the overmatched Puerto Ricans, but he had a pair of assists and his teammates gave the Argentine faithful a treat at a bargain price. Tickets were going for as low as $32 on game day, and they got to see three goals in the first 35 minutes and a 6-0 victory by the end of the night.
