Barcelona man Messi prove irrepressible during the friendly international in Dhaka, delighting fans at the Bangabandhu National Stadium.

The diminutive forward set up the game's opening goal with a one-touch pass that allowed Real Madrid striker Gonzalo Higuain to score after 24 minutes.

Messi then stole possession in midfield before sprinting to goal and having his shot parried by goalkeeper Dele Aiyenugba, with Angel di Maria on hand to tap in for a 2-0 lead.

Nigeria claimed an unlikely goal through Chinedu Obasi a minute after half-time, with Argentina gloveman Sergio Romero failing to keep the ball out of his net despite getting a hand on Obasi's strike.

But Argentina regained their two-goal buffer when Higuain's saved strike rebounded off Nigerian defender Uwa Echiejile for an own goal in the 65th minute
