Argentina will look for their first victory at this year’s Sudamericano when they play Ecuador.
Fernando BATISTA’s team drew 1-1 in their opening match against Paraguay with PSV’s Maxi ROMERO scoring the lone goal for Argentina. A win, depending on other results, could take them to first place in the table. They’re currently in 4th position in Group B with Ecuador having already played two matches.
The team will wear the traditional sky blue and white shirt with white shorts.

Lionel MESSI continues to add to his scoring tally, this time scoring in FC Barcelona’s 3-1 win against Leganes.
The little magician started the match on the bench for the Catalan club. With the score at 1-1, coach VALVERDE brought on the Barcelona captain and MESSI did what MESSI does. A lovely dribble around a defender was followed by a shot which was saved by the goalkeeper. Luis SUAREZ pounced on it and gave Barcelona the 2-1 lead.
What soon followed was a thing of poetry. MESSI played a ball to Jordi ALBA, the left back played it to MESSI and Lionel fired it home with his right foot.
