Messi strike helps Argentina win
MARACAIBO (Venezuela), Oct 17: Lionel Messi added another superb goal to his collection to help Argentina beat Venezuela 2-0 away in a World Cup qualifier on Tuesday.
Messi struck two minutes before halftime after his Barcelona team-mate Gabriel Milito had given Argentina the lead with his first goal for his country on his 30th appearance.
The win gave Argentina, who have won all 15 meetings with Venezuela, maximum points from their first two games in the qualifiers for the 2010 World Cup.
