The Argentine national team is undefeated in 24 matches, and thanks to the draw of Brazil in Colombia, it reduced the gap behind the biggest favorite to six points.

Lionel Messi was one of the scorers in the triumph of the "gauchos" in the South American qualifiers for the 2022 World Cup Qatar against the national team of Uruguay (3: 0).

The PSG player set a new record on South American soil, ie he is the first footballer from that continent to score at least 80 goals for the national team.

- We played a great match. Everything worked perfectly. Uruguay is waiting for your mistake and then it is very dangerous. After we scored the first goal, it was easier to find space and the goals came - said Messi.

Argentina will have its next match in the World Cup qualifiers in three days at home against Peru.
