Roberto Pereyra wins penalty, scores penalty for Watford vs. Arsenal

Roberto Pereyra scored for Watford in their 2-2 draw vs. Arsenal.

Despite starting the match on the bench, the 28 year old Argentine managed to have a huge impact for Watford. With Arsenal at one point having a 2-0 lead, the score was 2-1 when Pereyra was brought onto the pitch.

Pereyra received the ball and was tripped inside the penalty area by David Luiz. The referee awarded a penalty kick which was taken by the former River Plate and Juventus man.

He stepped up and the goalkeeper went the wrong way as Pereyra drew his team level.

Nicolas Tagliafico scores twice, a header and flying volley in Ajax win

Nicolas Tagliafico scored twice for Ajax, a header and a flying volley, in Ajax’s 4-1 win vs. Heerenveen.

There’s nothing the Argentina captain can’t do on a pitch. He defends, he scores goals with his head and even flying volleys. With the match at 1-1, Nicolas Tagliafico found himself on the end of a cross and headed it to restore Ajax’s lead.

At 3-0, it was a thing of beauty. Another cross sent in for Tagliafico as the Argentine jumped, extended his leg and scored his second of the game. He was awarded the Man of the Match award.

Sergio Aguero scores, Emi Buendia two assists in Norwich City win

Sergio Aguero scored for Manchester City while Emi Buendia had two assists as Norwich won 3-2 against the league champions.

Norwich City were awarded a corner kick which was taken by Emi Buendia. The 22 year old Argentine’s cross found the head of McLean who scored the first of the game.

They would go on to double their lead and just as it looked like they would go into half time with a two goal advantage, Sergio Aguero pulls one back for City. A cross sent in found Aguero and his header made it 2-1 going into the break.

Nicolas Otamendi had a horror show on the third goal for Norwich. Buendia would easily steal the ball off him and pass it to Pukki for the third.

Argentina vs. Brazil and Germany left for 2019 friendly games

Argentina’s opponents for the rest of the year consist of eternal rivals Brazil and long time foe Germany.

Lionel Scaloni has at least two big tests ahead of him this year. While the match against the Basque Country has been cancelled, one thing that is still confirmed is the game against Germany. The rematch of the 2014 FIFA World Cup final is set to take place in Dortmund on the 9th of October.

There is no news yet as to who Argentina could play in the second game in October with the Basque Country match no longer taking place.

For the games in October, coach Lionel Scaloni has already confirmed that he would not be calling up any players from either River Plate or Boca Juniors, seeing as how both teams will be playing against each other in the Copa Libertadores.

Brazil will be one of Argentina’s opponents for November. The match is rumored to be taking place on November 14 in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. It would be a rematch of one of the 2019 Copa America semi-finals.

The second game in November is rumored to be against Saudi Arabia, although no confirmation for that match.
