Lionel Messi created two goals to inspire Argentina to a 3-1 international friendly win over Nigeria in Dhaka on Tuesday.
Messi, cheered by fans with his every touch, set up Gonzalo Higuain for the opening goal after 24 minutes and it was from his mesmerising run and shot that Angel Di Maria doubled the lead two minutes later.
Nigeria pulled one back through substitute Chinedu Obasi soon after the restart but an own goal from Elderson midway through the half restored Argentina's two-goal cushion.
Messi entertained the Bangladesh fans right from kickoff and the playmaker went close to breaking the deadlock on 15 minutes when his freekick whistled inches past the post.
A strong Argentina side then went in front thanks to Messi's astute chipped past that found an unmarked Higuain and he fired home
