Argentina were given a glimmer of hope of reaching the 2018 World Cup in Russia after Lionel Messi produced a stunning performance to secure his side a 3-0 win over Colombia on Tuesday.
Messi opened the scoring with a spectacular free kick and later set up goals for Lucas Pratto and Angel di Maria. Argentina now have jumped into the fifth place with 19 points from 12 games and are back into the qualifying contention.
