Enzo Fernandez, Nicolas Tagliafico and Nico Gonzalez fired Argentina to a 3-0 win against Bolivia in World Cup qualifying on Tuesday.
Argentina won without star player MessiAbsent from the matchday squad, Lionel Messi watched on from the sidelines as his Albiceleste team-mates won their second qualifying match, taking them top of the table. Fernandez nipped in to meet Angel Di Maria's cross to put his team into the lead just after the half-hour mark.
Shortly afterwards, Bolivia found themselves down to 10 men when Roberto Fernandez was sent off for a second yellow card just 20 minutes after receiving his first for another foul. Argentina capitalised on that advantage almost immediately as Tagliafico was found unmarked in the box by Di Maria and nodded in to double his team's lead. The visitors then enhanced their cushion towards the end when Nico Gonzalez found the net with a nice finish after taking on a pass from Exequiel Palacios.
