Argentina extended their unbeaten run to 36 matches with a comfortable 5-0 win over the United Arab Emirates in their final World Cup warm-up game.

Angel di Maria scored twice as Julian Alvarez, Lionel Messi and Joaquin Correa also added goals in Abu Dhabi.

Messi unselfishly set-up Manchester City‘s Alvarez for the opener before Di Maria doubled their lead.

Di Maria added a third and Messi made it four before the break, as Correa completed the rout after the interval.

Argentina face Saudi Arabia in their World Cup Group C opener on 22 November.

Mexico and Poland are also in the the same group as the two-time world champions.
