Argentina sneak past Brazil to win the International Friendly 1-0 in Australia

Be it a friendly or a world cup final, the conflict between Argentina and Brazil is always entertaining. It was a low scoring game today but certainly it was a good game!


The game was played at the Melbourne Cricket Ground in Melbourne,Australia. Jorge Sampaoli's men were looking aggressive from the start of the game while their opposition also presented a stiff resistance and also tried to build some deadly counter-attacks.


The 30 year old Sevilla defender Gabriel Mercado scored the deciding goal of the game on the stroke of the halftime. Though till the halfway mark it was not possible to tell who was winning.


Sergio Romero, the United goalkeeper had a brilliant game as he made some top class saves in the second half to earn the clean sheet. Brazil did not have a good luck as Gabriel Jesus and Willian had two shots on the goalpost respectively.


It was looking good for Argentina as they played a 3-4-3 formation with Messi,Dybala and Higuain trio upfront.This trio has got the potential to be the world's best. In the dying moments of the game it became worse for the Brazilian team as they had to see Gabriel Jesus being stretched off due to injury.


 It was a 1-0 but certainly there was a good atmosphere in the stadium and a good game on the pitch. It is Brazil's first loss under their manager Tite.

The scoreline was not a fair reflection of the game as the game was more competitive and it was anyone's game till the time when Real Madrid kept on widening the lead.
