Barcelona forward Lionel Messi netted his first international hat-trick tonight to earn Argentina a friendly victory over Switzerland in Bern.
Messi opened the scoring after 20 minutes but there were no further goals in a scrappy first half and then Xherdan Shaqiri equalised for the hosts five minutes after the interval.
It looked destined to end in a draw until Messi put his side ahead again two minutes from time and then made sure of the triumph from the penalty spot.
