Argentina 1-1 Chile: Leo Messi slots a penalty in World Cup qualifier
The Argentine netted but Alexis Sanchez was on point to level
Lionel Messi netted from the penalty spot for Argentina in a 1-1 World Cup qualifying draw with Chile.
The forward profited after Guillermo Maripan fouled Lautaro Martinez.
However Alexis Sanchez struck for Chile before half-time to tie the game.
Claudio Bravo, Messi’s former Barcelona team-mate, made a sensational save to tip away a Messi free-kick.
Messi came close late on too but could not find a winner, with Argentina second in World Cup 2022 qualifying, behind Brazil who play Ecuador later Friday.
