Of all nights, Tuesday evening in Lima is where Messi decided to “come back” and played a full 90 minutes and scored <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/argentina" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Argentina</a>’s two goals to put them top of <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/conmebol" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Conmebol </a>World Cup qualifying.<br></p>



<p>Argentina is undefeated after 4 games and hold a perfect record, while Peru is off to a poor start with 1 draw and three defeats, they have lost their last three matches and are out of qualification so far.<br></p>



<p>One thing that was constant on Tuesday was the number of fans trying to run on the field and get a selfie or get close to <strong><a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/lionel-messi" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Lionel Messi</a>.</strong> This upset Orlando City and Peruvian goalkeeper <strong>Pedro Gallese</strong> who went off on a fan who ran on the pitch.<br></p>

<p>At the end of the match a fan ran on the field with his cellphone in hand looking to get close to Messi. Pedro Gallese along with security helped stop the fan from getting close to Messi, and in the process and in frustration the Orlando City keeper took the phone from the fans hand and threw it across the field.<br></p>
