About 20 thousand people were able to closely follow a game that made history. At the Monumental de Nuñez stadium, Argentina had no difficulties and beat Bolivia 3-0 with a show by Leonel Messi. By swinging the net at 13 minutes of the first half and 18 and 42 of the second, the shirt 10 reached the incredible mark of 79 goals scored and beat Pelé’s record (77 goals) in the artillery for South American teams in official games.
