After enduring the ignominy and humiliation of that 3 – 0 loss to Brazil,Argentina desperately needed a win against Colombia.
Argentina had not found themselves in such a difficult position in the closing stages of a World Cup qualifying competition for a long time.Their hopes hang by a thread.
No better time for Messi to come back to his brilliant best.He opened the scoring in the 10th minute with this superb long distance free kick.
