At the end of the friendly match between Angola and Argentina, it was the reigning world champions who emerged victorious.

This Friday, Argentina claimed a 2-0 win in Angola in a friendly encounter. In the first half, Lionel Messi set up Lautaro Martinez for the Albiceleste's opening goal in the 43rd minute, before the roles were reversed in the second half as the Argentine captain found the net himself in the 82nd minute.

It is worth noting that Strasbourg striker Joaquin Panichelli made his debut for the national team, coming on as a late substitute for Messi.
