MOST PITCH INVADERS can expect a rugby tackle from a security guard at best, however a fan today at the end of the Argentina-Hong Kong match escaped this fate while also encountering a footballing legend.
After running onto the pitch, Lionel Messi didn’t impede the spectator, but instead decided to sign his jersey for him.

Meanwhile, Argentina comfortably beat Hong Kong 7-0, with braces from Lionel Messi, Gonzalo Higuain and Nicolás Gaitán, in addition to a strike by Éver Banega.
