Havana, September 24 (RHC)-- The Argentinean national soccer team defeated Honduras 3-0 in the U.S. city of Miami during a friendly match ahead of the Qatar World Cup, scheduled from November 20 to December 18.

The first goal for the team led by Scaloni was scored by Lautaro Martínez in the 15th minute, while Lionel Messi scored the other two, one of them from the penalty spot.

The Argentine 11 increased their unbeaten run to 34 matches and stood out against an opponent that did not know how to show off and had late reactions.

In this way, Messi reached 88 goals in 165 matches with his country's national team.

The next friendly for the Albiceleste will be on Tuesday against Jamaica in New York.

Before October 21, Lionel Scaloni will have to define the players he will take to Qatar, which is why, as he announced, these matches will be used as tests.

Under Messi's guidance, the Argentine squad won in June at the mythical Wembley stadium in the United Kingdom, where it defeated Italy and won the Finalissima, an event that pitted the last winners of America and Europe against each other.
