Argentina 1-0 Brazil ( Lionel Messi)
Lionel Messi’s late goal, his first ever for Argentina against Brazil, gave Sergio Batista’s side a win over their bitter local rivals in an international friendly in Doha, Qatar on November 17, 2010.
It was an excellent individual strike from the little Argentine, who scored in second half stoppage time.
World Cup Group G:-
Brazil
North Korea
Côte d’Ivoire
Portugal
As a neutral, your heart goes out for Côte d’Ivoire. Despite boasting of some of the best talent in African football, it is unlikely that they will progress far in this World Cup. The Elephants have once again been drawn in the Group of Death in a World Cup, just as they were in the 2006 edition. Even if they do progress from the group, in all probability, they will have European champions Spain to contend with in the Round of 16.
Brazil, the reigning Confederations Cup champions, are many people’s favourites to top the group, despite the likely absence of Ronaldinho at this summer’s quadrennial extravaganza. Dunga’s men also have an easy start to their group- they face Korea in Joburg on the 15th.
