FIFA World Cup: Lionel Messi scored two first-half goals as Argentina eased to a 2-0 away victory over Peru in their FIFA World Cup qualifier here.

Messi gave his side the lead just after the half hour mark by thumping a first-time effort into the top-right corner after Nicolas Gonzalez's cross, reports Xinhua.

The reigning world champions made it 2-0 on the stroke of halftime after Julian Alvarez let Enzo Fernandez's cross pass through his legs and Messi rifled home a low finish from 16 yards.
