Isco scored a hat-trick as Spain romped to a 6-1 victory over Argentina in Madrid, where Lionel Messi again watched from the stands. Argentina, also without Manchester City forward Sergio Aguero because of a knee problem, should have gone ahead in the eighth minute. Argentina went close when Giovani Lo Celso played a neat one-two which released Meza into the Spain penalty area, but the Independiente forward stabbed his shot just wide. As Caballero raced out, Aspas went wide to the right, before sliding a pass back to Isco, who rolled in his second. Under a minute later, Isco made sure of the match ball and a night to forget for Argentina when scoring a sixth from Aspas' square pass.
