FIFA World Cup: Argentina goes further, and behind Mexico

Yesterday, the first pair of the participants decided the quarterfinals. Rival German team was the team of Argentina, led by Diego Maradona charismatic.








Even before the match everyone was talking about the advantages of Argentines, who as a team, and for the players a head taller than the Mexicans. Only here the first 20 minutes of the match said it is not clear what. Neither one nor the other team did not try to actively go ahead. There was an impression that this is not the playoffs just an ordinary match of the group stage, in which both teams are satisfied with a draw. Mexicans were even more opportunities to open an account.









So it was only up to 26 minutes when Mexican defender lost the ball in the center circle, robbed Messi and Rafa Marquez threw the ball to Tevez. However, the goalkeeper had first to the ball and carried it ... right leg Lionel Messi (Lionel Messi), which re-hung on Tevez, who turned closest to the gate. And the "citizen" was even closer than the defender of Mexico. Rosetti and linesman apparently asleep at the time and only woke up from the noise of the crowd. Even after the meeting, it was decided a goal is scored, even though too obvious offside.

















And then, 33 minutes' otzheg "Osorio, rolled the ball Gonzalo Higuain. Tom had no choice but to punish an opponent for oversight. Argentine striker scored his fifth goal of the tournament and topped the list of scorers in the finals of the competition.















Argentina finally woke up to the end of the half could do by indecent. But Mexicans have stood somewhere, and somewhere their opponents simply lacked accuracy.

And on 52 minutes, Carlos Tevez (Carlos Tevez) has created a small miracle, beating two defenders and relish kissed the ball, which is quietly flew into the far corner. Now everything was done cleanly without any offsides.













Realizing that play nearly the whole time, Argentines began obviously to save strength, giving the initiative to the national team of Mexico. However, the Mexicans could not score as many as twenty minutes. Goal prestige on account of the young Javier Hernandez (Xavier Hernandez). There was 71 minutes, and the national team of Mexico was still 20 minutes to roleplaying.

















Only the level of the players and fatigue suggests otherwise. So the match and ended.
