Argentina defeated Panama 2-0 in their first game following the World Cup, with Lionel Messi scoring his 800th goal at the highest level.
After Cristiano Ronaldo, the 35-year-old attacker for Paris St. Germain became the second player to accomplish the feat.
Throughout the course of 17 seasons, Messi scored 672 goals for Barcelona and 29 for PSG.
Moreover, he has scored 99 goals for his country, including two in the World Cup final.
At the Monumental de Nunez Stadium in Buenos Aires, the Argentina captain added a free kick in the 89th minute to Thiago Almada’s opening goal from 11 minutes earlier.
Messi will have the chance to score his 100th goal for Argentina when they take on Curacao on Tuesday.
