The match was played at Saitama Stadium and Messi came on 13 minutes into the second half for his compatriot Mauro Icardi, along with Brazilian Neymar who replaced French star Kylian Mbappe.
For his part, the Spanish Sergio Ramos entered 25 minutes into the final stage in place of the German Jan Thilo Kehrer.
The Parisian team’s 2-0 lead in the first half was justified by the individual quality of its players and the imbalance that Mbappé raised in each of his interventions. The development was quite even and the Costa Rican goalkeeper Keylor Navas blocked three goal balls, two in the first five minutes.
But PSG did not forgive and at 16 minutes Sarabia opened the scoring with a remarkable right hand after clearance by Iccardi and at 34 minutes Mbappe, who started the play with a sublime cue clearance for the Spanish Juan Bernat, established the 2-0 with a furious right from a very tight angle.
In the second stage everything changed, Urawa (eighth in the Japanese league, 16 points behind the leader Yokohama Marinos) made eight changes, and PSG, by order of its new coach Cristophe Galtrier, replaced the Argentine Mauricio Pochettino, also began with the variants and everything happened to see the showy actions developed by Messi and Neymar.
PSG took the field with Keylor Navas; Jan Thilo Kehrer, Danilo Pereira and Abdou-Lakhad Diallo; Marco Verratti and Warren Zaire-Emery; Eric Ebimbe and Juan Bernat; Pablo Sarabia and Kylian Mbappe; Mauro Icardi.
The French team, which beat Kawasaki Frontale 2-1 last Wednesday, will play its third and final match on the Japanese tour next Monday at 7 in Argentina against Gamba Osaka at the Panasonic Stadium.
