Lionel Messi Scores Two, Sets Up Another, in 30 Minute Cameo in Hong Kong

Lionel Messi started Argentina's friendly match against Hong Kong on the bench, but he didn't take long to make an impact when he did finally make an appearance. 

To be fair, Argentina were already 4-0 up when he came on in the 60th minute, but just six minutes later he chipped home with typical class to make it 5-0. 

It took him just six minutes more minutes to make another impact, as he set up Benfica's Nicolas Gaitan for number six.

He saved the best for last though, as he skipped across three players before creating an angle to make it 7-0 in the 84th minute.

Messi even had time to sign the shirt of a pitch invader just before the end of the match.
