Iraq 0 Argentina 4: Inter's Martinez scores on full debut

Argentina prepared for Brazil by beating Iraq 4-0 in Saudi Arabia, with Lautaro Martinez and Roberto Pereyra among the goals.

Lautaro Martinez scored his first goal for Argentina on his full debut as they beat Iraq 4-0 in Saudi Arabia.

An experimental side without the likes of Lionel Messi, Sergio Aguero or Gonzalo Higuain gave a commanding display in the first game of a four-team tournament that also features Brazil and Saudi Arabia.

Martinez, who has scored one goal in four Serie A appearances for Inter this season, provided a reminder of his abilities by opening his account for his country after earning his first start.
