Lionel Messi turned into his nation's unequaled top goalscorer on Tuesday when he scored in the Copa America semi-last against the United States to take his universal count to 55 objectives.
The five-time world player of the year scored in the 32nd moment of the match in Houston to give Argentina a 2-0 lead. The objective in his 112th worldwide lifts him above Gabriel Batistuta, who scored 54 objectives in 78 diversions for the two-time title holders.
Messi's objective was a wonderful free kick from 25 yards out that gave U.S. goalkeeper Brad Guzan minimal possibility. He took the kick in the wake of being negatively felled as he burst forward by Chris Wondolowski, the American getting a yellow card.
It multiplied Argentina's lead after Ezequiel Lavezzi put them one up in only three minutes.
The Barcelona striker now has five objectives in the Centenary Copa America and is one behind Chilean Eduardo Vargas in the race to end up the competition's top goalscorer.
He has accomplished his count in spite of not beginning in Argentina's initial three diversions in light of a back harm.
His structure has in any case been exceptional with the 28-year old scoring a cap trap in 19 minutes in the wake of going ahead as a substitute in a 5-0 win over Paraguay a week ago.
Argentina are hot top choices to win the Copa and end a trophy dry season that stretches out back to 1993, when they won the Copa in Ecuador.
They achieved the finals of the Copa America in 2015 and the World Cup in 2014 however barely lost both matches.
