Argentina captain Lionel Messi scored his 100th international goal for his country in a friendly match against Curacao.
Seven-time Ballon d'Or winner Messi opened the scoring against the Caribbean island minnows on 20 minutes in Santiago del Estero.
It came 17 years after he opened his Argentina account in a 3-2 defeat to Croatia in March 2006.
Messi, 35, remains third on the all-time men's list of leading international scorers behind Portugal's Cristiano Ronaldo, who achieved the century of goals in September of 2020, and now has 120, and Iran's Ali Daei, who scored 109 before retiring in 2007.
Messi has scored 13 times in the Copa America and he is the highest goalscorer for Argentina at World Cup competitions, having netted 13 goals in 26 matches spanning five editions, starting in 2006.
