Lionel Messi’s quickest goal of his career on Thursday in Beijing helped Argentina defeat Australia 2-0 in a friendly match.
Due to the Socceroos’ shoddy defence, the seven-time Ballon d’Or winner curled in from the outside of the box after only 79 seconds.
Lionel Messi nearly added a second goal in front of more than 50,000 adoring fans, but his strike from a tight angle went into the side netting.
