Mabkhout making way... Off: MacAllister & Di MariaOn: Molina and Montiel Changes afoot for Lionel Scaloni's side.... HT: UAE 0-4 ARGSomewhat surprising to see that the Argentina national side has yet to launch an English language version with the likes of France, Germany and Mexico all carrying English language Twiter feeds. A decent opening first ten minutes or so from the home team but they soon wilted after the first Argentina goal from Julian Alvarez. The one minute of added time is up and the whistle sounds for the break. Goal No. 91 for Messi in an Argentina shirt Gooooooool. Messi gets in on the action with a fine right footed finish The important thing for Scaloni's men now is to avoid injury. I'd anticipate that the head coach will opt to make sweeping changes to ensure that as many of his squad get match time pre-World Cup.

But with the last-eight in the rearview mirror, they will hope they can kick on to more silverware in Costa Rica.

UAE trying to take some of the impetus away from Argentina with the game now played at walking pace. Alvarez off with Fernandez his replacement... Expect he rhythm of the game to take some time to be restored with all these switches. Otamendi and Acuña also off for the visitors with Correa and Pezella on Change for UAE as De Lima is on.
Fine ball from De Paul as the Atletico man almost finds Messi, the delivery was just overhit for the PSG striker. Fine ball from Messi as he looks to find Alvarez but the ball is just inches away from the Man City striker. Despite many Argentina shirts in the crowd, they seem to be sported by locals with no discernable away support visible here in Abu Dhabi. Corner for the home side. Easy for Argentina to clear. Argentina enjoying the bulk of all the early possession with a major cheer breaking out from the home fans each time Messi comes into contact with the ball. Argentina looking to extend their unbeaten record of 35 games and are just two away from the record held by Roberto Mancini's Italy who recorded 37 games without defeat, a run which ended in October 2021. A reminder of the teams for today's clash should you just be tuning in....

Fine assist from Messi who feeds the City striker. Argentina go ahead as Julian Alvarez slots home Rodrigo de Paul getting plenty of the ball and looking like being the creative player at the heart of the Argentina midfield. Upon the conclusion of tonight's game, the Argentine World Cup expedition will take the one hour flight from Abu Dhabi and land in Doha later tonight. Al Maazmi strikes and the ball takes a deflection and UAE win a corner. The home side are not being outclassed by any means despite Argentine dominating possession.
Di Maria impressed and it's likely that Lautaro Martinez will be the preferred striker for Scaloni. There was no real conclusion to draw from a defensive point of view with little or no threat from the UAE strikers. Rodrigo de Paul did look good for Argentina in the first 45' expecially. Messi free kick..... the ball just grazes the UAE post. Vintage Leo! Majed Hassan carded for a rash challenge on Correa as he clips the Atlet player with his arm That's the end of the Argentina changes so it appears that Messi will play the full 90 minutes.
