The Argentina result was established before Messi's reported intervention. The match stats record a progression from 1-0 to 2-0 before the final 3-0 score, showing the hosts had already built a two-goal cushion when he entered. The report says he came on in the 70th minute, then converted a penalty two minutes later after Lautaro Martínez won the spot-kick.
That sequence supplied the main highlights of the match summary. Messi's cameo turned the closing phase into the central talking point, while Argentina completed a three-goal result against Iceland. The final scoreline gave Argentina a clear win in the friendly and ended the recorded meeting with Iceland at 3-0.
