Lionel Messi paved the way for Argentina, as Lionel Scaloni's men entered the Copa America semi-finals after defeating Ecuador 3-0 on Saturday in Brazil. 

From the opening goal to the last one scored by the Barca star himself, Messi dominated the match. First, he assisted Rodrigo de Paul's opener in the 40th min and also helped Lautaro Martinez score the 2nd goal in the 84th minute. The captain then ended the game in style with a brilliant free-kick in injury time, his 76th international goal.
