Argentina saved the best for last day. Needing a win and some help from Peru, Colombia, and Chile, Messi came up trumps with a magnificent hat trick.
Peru only managed to draw Colombia, and Chile lost 3-0 to Brazil. This left Argentina in position 3 on the table, and Colombia at 4.
Peru will play a play-off game against New Zealand to decide which of them is headed to Russia.
