Argentina 4-3 Brazil: Magical Messi hat-trick decides clasico thriller

The Barcelona phenomenon was unstoppable in New Jersey as he led the Albiceleste to the narrowest of victories in a pulsating friendly clash

A wonderful hat-trick from Lionel Messi was the key for Argentina as they earned a fabulous 4-3 victory over South American rivals Brazil.

The brilliant Leo Messi had dragged his team back into the game to lead at half time, after Romulo handed the Selecao an early advantage.

Goals from Oscar and Hulk looked to have swung the balance once more in the favour of Mano Menezes' men after the break, but Federico Fernandez turned in a towering header to once more equalise. That set the stage for the Barcelona star to hit his third of the evening, skipping past the Brazil back line

It was a Brazil team inspired by the dynamic Neymar who dominated the first exchanges.

Preview Brazil vs Argentina on 09 June 2017:
Brazil are sure to miss Barcelona forward Neymar for their global tour friendly against Argentina at the Melbourne Cricket Ground on Friday. However, the Selecao still have enough quality up front to score goals against La Albiceleste in Australia.

The quality comes from Chelsea forward Willian, along with Liverpool playmaker Philippe Coutinho. Of course, new Argentina coach Jorge Sampaoli can call on Neymar's club team-mate Lionel Messi to help get one over on the old enemy.
