Lautaro MARTINEZ scored the winner for Inter in their 1-0 win against Parma.
A less than stellar match for Inter but Lautaro MARTINEZ came on as a substitute and scored to win the match. The former Racing man came on and just two minutes later, he scored the winner.
Weeks before the 1998 FIFA World Cup, on April 22, 1998, Argentina played a friendly match in Dublin where they won 2-0 against the Republic of Ireland.
A match which saw Gabriel BATISTUTA scoring one of his many, many goals for the Argentina team also produced an Ariel ORTEGA goal which still holds up 20 years later. The first goal came following a ball sent in from the left side which found BATISTUTA who slotted home from close range.
Argentina’s second goal was magic by ORTEGA. With the ball glued to his foot, the number 10 toyed with the Irish back line and goalkeeper Shay GIVEN before chipping the ball over everyone and into the net.
Here was Argentina’s starting XI, coached by Daniel PASSARELLA:
German BURGOS
Roberto AYALA
Nelson VIVAS
Roberto SENSINI
Matias ALMEYDA
Sergio BERTI
Diego SIMEONE
Juan Sebastian VERON
Gabriel BATISTUTA
Claudio LOPEZ
Ariel ORTEGA

Argentina have qualified for the U20 FIFA World Cup following a 2-1 win against Uruguay.
The boys made it three wins out of four in the second stage of the Sudamericano. Fernando BATISTA’s team opened the scoring with a great strike by Anibal MORENO. His first time shot from outside the penalty area made it 1-0 going into the first half.
At 1-0, Gonzalo MARONI doubled Argentina’s advantage after some poor defending by Uruguay. Late in injury time, Uruguay would make it 2-1 but Argentina would hang on for the win.
With that win, Argentina have qualified for both the U20 FIFA World Cup as well as the 2019 Pan American games.
