Messi & Suarez net hat-tricks in 14-goal All Star thriller
Jun 25, 2012 2:44:00 PM
The Argentine maestro has been winding down in style as part of the team's tour of America, and even had the pleasure of being managed by Fabio Capello
While all European eyes will have been on the Euro 2012 quarter-finals, across the globe, Lionel Messi and Luis Suarez were bagging hat-tricks for fun.
The duo were joined by the world's top players for the World Soccer Masters Tour exhibition match in Miami, which saw The Stars and Masters play out a thrilling 7-7 draw - none of this 'two banks of four' strategy.
In front of a crowd of almost 50,000, Edinson Cavani's 88th-minute strike looked to have won the game for Fabio Capello's 'Stars', but Argentine hero Ariel Ortega converted a last-minute penalty for Dunga's 'Masters' - food for thought for England's Ashley Young and Cole.
Other 'Stars' to feature on the scoresheet included Radamel Falcao, James Rodriguez and Nene, while Didier Drogba and Diego Milito bagged for the 'Masters' side.
