International friendly matches have been played throughout this Wednesday but the one every football fan from all over the globe was expecting to see was the Classic Brazil Vs Argentina. It’s an eternal rivalry between these 2 giants and after 7 encounters Argentina was finally able to defeat the Brazilians with a last minute goal from the Superstar Lionel Messi.
From the start of the match it was Brazil going upfront and making dangerous plays inside the Argentineans side, but despite having the talent of Ronaldino, Robinho and Neymar they weren’t able to score. Over and over again in the first half the Brazilians insisted and played with their Joga Bonito style and Ronaldinho almost managed to score with a back heel but Sergio Romero luckily was in the right place at the right time to deny the scoring. While the Argentineans’ were mostly defending they had some glimpses of light with Messi striking here and there but it was noticeable that Brazil was overcoming them and the first half ended goalless for both sides.
The second half started off much slower than the start of the match with less magic from Brazil and Argentina was slowly gaining momentum on the field, but as this half was going by so was the tension. Some players started off tackling harder and harder. It didn’t look like a friendly at all. Minutes later Higuain was benched and replaced by Ezequiel Lavezzi who made a impact almost instant with his fast pace dribbling and was able to get past Brazil’s defense every time he went upfront but still no goal was scored and the final minutes of the match were nearing.
With the last few minutes of the match it was Lionel Messi that stepped it up and scored after playing a one-two with Lavezzi and later rushing past Brazil’s backline and placing a ball that Victor couldn’t reach. Argentina finally defeated Brazil after 7 matches thanks to the magic of Lionel Messi.
