After the 0-0 in the first stage, Scaloni moved the bench as expected, bringing on players like Lautaro Martínez and Lisandro Martínez, but it would be Thiago Almada who would manage to break the Panamanian goal in the 78th minute.
After having two free kick attempts very close to getting the goal, Lionel Messi managed to score a great goal from that route in the 89th minute that closed the celebration of the Argentines with a flourish and closed the final score of 2 goals to 0 against the Panamanians.
This great goal meant the 800th goal in Messi’s career, 701 in his clubs (Barcelona and PSG) and 99 with the Argentina team.
