Lionel Messi became the first South American to score 80 international goals as his Argentina side beat Uruguay 3-0 in the World Cup qualifying.

Messi opened the scoring for his side with a floated cross that somehow evaded the goalkeeper.

Rodrigo de Paul doubled Argentina's lead before half-time, with Lau-taro Martinez adding a third after the break.

Argentina is now unbeaten in 24 games and their latest win keeps the pressure on Brazil in South America's World Cup qualifying group.

The victory narrows the gap between Brazil and second-placed Argentina at the top of the 10-team group.
