Lionel Messi scored in his final match for Argentina, burying a 70th-minute penalty as "The Last Tango" ended 3-0 over Benin at a sold-out Estadio Monumental. Otamendi and Paz struck earlier, the stadium paused in the 10th minute to honour the No. 10, and a post-match drone show and fireworks sent him off. Messi bows out with 208 caps, 126 international goals and the 2022 World Cup.
