November 16, (THEWILL) – Argentina defeated the United Arab Emirates 5-0 in their final clash before the 2022 World Cup, with Lionel Messi and Angel Di Maria shining in the process.

With a convincing victory in Abu Dhabi on Wednesday, Lionel Scaloni’s team had no trouble extending their unbeaten streak to 36 games going into the competition.

Argentina quickly built a four-goal advantage at the half thanks to Di Maria’s two goals and one assist for Messi, who had earlier sent Julian Alvarez in for the game’s first goal.

The solitary goal of a chaotic second half was scored by substitute Joaquin Correa as the defending South American champions made a grand exit for Qatar for a team that has become accustomed to winning.

They are now one more match away from equalling the longest unbeaten streak of a national team, which is currently held by the Italians, a 37-game undefeated streak between October 2018 and October 2021.
