The result was overshadowed by an incident involving Messi in the second half that forced the Barcelona superstar to leave the field clutching his lower back in pain.
&ldquo;Messi suffered trauma to his lower back and ribcage on the left side. He is being examined for a more thorough diagnosis,&rdquo; the Argentina Football Association said in a statement. Argentina coach Gerardo Martino said, &ldquo;It&rsquo;s too early for me to say anything more at this stage.&rdquo;
