Lionel Messi led Argentina to overcome hosts USA in the semifinals of the Copa América Centenario on Tuesday. Argentina outplayed and outclassed the U.S. from the very start and came away with a 4-0 victory.

The other Argentine goals came courtesy of Messi and Gonzalo HiguaÃn. Argentina advanced to the Copa América final on Sunday against the winner of the Chile-Colombia semifinal.
