Messi wins his 100th cap as Argentina top Group B

DeShorn Brown took a picture to last a lifetime after Jamaica had been beaten by Argentina at Copa America.

Rather than settle for a traditional handshake, the Jamaica forward took a selfie with Lionel Messi.

"Messi is the best in the world, a star, and that's a photo I'll have as a souvenir all my life," said Brown.

Gonzalo Higuain scored the only goal to confirm Argentina as Group B winners, probably meaning they avoid Brazil in the quarter-finals.

Jamaica's DeShorn Brown takes a selfie with Lionel Messi after his side had lost 1-0 to Argentina.

Winning his 100th cap, Messi, 27, was kept at bay but Napoli striker Higuain fired home from inside the box.

While Messi's side had already qualified for the last 16, even a win would not have been enough for Jamaica.

Earlier, Uruguay and Paraguay also went through from Group B after a 1-1 draw in which both sides scored through headers from corners.

Atletico Madrid defender Jose Gimenez had given Uruguay the lead only for Paraguay striker Lucas Barrios to equalise just before half-time.

Paraguay qualify as runners-up and will play the winners of Group C, most likely Brazil, while Uruguay finished as one of two best-placed third teams and will face hosts Chile.

Venezuela are currently third in Group C, the position Argentina will face, although all four teams in the pool are all on three points,Argentina 1-0 Jamaica
