Lionel Messi was taken down in Argentina's World Cup soccer qualifying match against Colombia, which is all part of the game. However, before Messi could get up from the ground, he took a shot in the head from a ball kicked by Colombia's Abel Aguilar from point-blank range for a painful one-two punch.
The good news for Messi is that he scored a goal in the match that helped Argentina win 2-1, so that had to help ease the pain.
