He then set up the second goal, a pass from Lautaro Martinez after Messi had driven past both central defenders in the penalty area. The third goal, a goal from Julian Alvarez, came from a quick free kick from the MLS star, which hit the Atlético Madrid striker in stoppage time in the first half to make the score 3-0.

After a series of substitutions, La Albiceleste added a fourth goal in the 70th minute through former Atlanta United player Thiago Almada, who came off the bench with elan.
