Brazil 0-1 Argentina LIVE: International friendly 2019 result as Lionel Messi scores on Albiceleste return

Welcome to the Evening Standard's coverage of the international friendly between Brazil and Argentina in Saudi Arabia.

The Albiceleste earned bragging rights over their South American rivals in Riyadh thanks to the returning Lionel Messi.

Messi, back in the Argentina side after serving a three-month ban, converted the rebound after seeing a first-half penalty saved by Alisson Becker.

That came shortly after Manchester City striker Gabriel Jesus had missed his own penalty for the Selecao.
