The Barcelona forward was unable to unlock a stubborn Romania defense on a frustrating night - and his exertions in trying to break through appeared to take its toll, as Messi fell ill during the first half.
Messi made a slow start to the match and vomited briefly on the field in the seventh minute, shortly after taking a free kick.
There was even more discomfort for Messi as he was targeted by a member of the crowd at the National Arena with a laser pointer.
After the game Messi played down his on-pitch illness: 'My vomiting has always happened,' he said. 'It happened a few times with Barça. It's nothing to me.'
So with the likes of Messi, Aguero, Di Maria, Zabaleta and Mescherano, Argentina could not score a single goal against Romania
