Argentina vs. Bolivia: Score and Recap from 2015 Friendly

While Lionel Messi and Javier Mascherano were busy winning a UEFA Champions League title with Barcelona on Saturday, their countrymen were having little difficulty brushing aside Bolivia in an international friendly.

Behind a hat-trick from Sergio Aguero and a brace from Angel Di Maria, the Argentines stomped the Bolivians, 5-0.

It didn't take long for Argentina to strike. Di Maria, wearing the captain's armband for the first time in the absence of Messi and Mascherano, ripped home a shot in the 25th minute that found the back of the net after a lovely pass from Javier Pastore set him up.
