Superstar Lionel Messi entered the game as a sub in the 61st minute and scored three goals in short order to propel Argentina to a 5-0 rout of Panama in a Copa America Group D match on Friday night at Soldier Field in Chicago.
Messi, coming off a back injury, replaced Augusto Fernandez and wasted no time, finding the net in the 67th minute to boost Argentina's lead to 2-0. He scored again in the 78th and 87th minute for his 10th multi-goal game and fourth international hat trick for Argentina.
