Argentina's national soccer team on Monday won over Albania 4-0 in a friendly match as part of warmup for the upcoming Copa America which starts here on July 1.
Lionel Messi and Carlos Tevez both scored and Ezequiel Lavezzi and Sergio Aguero also added goals as Argentina played with most of its top stars.
Albania, no match for Argentina at full strength, played with a weakened team that was missing several top players including Galatasaray midfielder Lorik Cana and forward Erjon Bogdani of Italy's Cesena.
Argentina and Brazil are the favorites in the Copa America, with Brazil clinching four of the last five titles.
