Ezequiel Lavezzi scored through a header after just three minutes before Argentina captain Lionel Messi doubled their lead with a stunning free-kick which was his 55th goal - making him Argentina's outright record goalscorer.
Napoli striker Gonzalo Higuain added a third from close range on 50 minutes before Higuain doubled his tally for the night on 86 minutes via a Messi assist making it a miserable match for the U.S.
