Lionel Messi became the all-time top scorer in South American World Cup qualifying with both goals in Argentina’s 2-0 win over Peru.
Messi, 36, opened the scoring after 32 minutes and added a second with a spectacular finish moments later.
He now has 31 goals in Conmebol World Cup qualifiers, surpassing Luis Suarez’s 29 for Uruguay.
Forward Messi missed Inter Miami’s US Open Cup final defeat by Houston Dynamo last month because of injury and had not started a match for his club since 21 September.
He came on as a substitute in Argentina’s 1-0 win over Paraguay on Thursday and started in Lima on Tuesday.
