Portland, OR

The greatest player in the world was sidelined with a back injury for there weeks. However Lionel Messi made a statement Friday in his first game back against Panama whom the albiceleste (Argentina) beat 5-0.

The scoring started in the seventh minute with a diving header by defender Nicolas Otamendi . Things got worse for Panama as they went down to 10 men when Anibal Godoy got sent off at the 31st minute. Despite the sending off, the game was pretty even until Lionel Messi came on and changed the game very quickly.

Messi scored a hattrick in the space of 19 minutes, as the Argentinians marched away from Panamanians. At the 90th minute Kun Aguero put the final sprinkle on Panama's cookie with a powerful headed goal, Argentina's fifth, to end the game 5-0.
