Argentina needed a touch of magic to make it to the World Cup in Russia and they got that from their inspirational captain, Lionel Messi who scored a hat-trick to seal a spot for the two-time World Champions at next year’s Mundial.
Messi was the main man for Argentina as they finally beat Ecuador away for the first time since 2001.
Argentina went into the clash needing a win to book a place at the finals in Russia – and Messi cancelled out Romario Ibarra’s opener with an 11th minute strike.
