Lionel Messi made his return to the Argentina national team on Thursday after that brief international 'retirement,' and it's safe to say it looks like he made the right choice. The superstar dazzled on the night, scoring the winning goal as Argentina beat Uruguay 1-0 in their World Cup qualifying match in Mendoza.
A goal late in the first half from the Barcelona man proved to be enough, as the hosts held on despite playing the entire second half with 10 men after Paulo Dybala's red card.
Messi finally got Argentina on the board 42 minutes in to send the crowd into a frenzy. After taking a nice touch to settle the ball at the top of the box, he shifted around and got an effort towards the goal that hit off Jose Gimenez and found the back of the net.
