LIONEL MESSI SCORED a hat-trick as Argentina beat Guatamala 4-0 in a friemdly last night.
The striker has now overtaken Diego Maradona and is level with Hernan Crespo on 35 goals for his country, though he still remains 21 short of all-time leading scorer Gabriel Batistuta.
The achievement will be a welcome boost to the striker, after he was accused of tax evasion earlier in the week.
