Match Prediction – Poll: Argentina vs. Honduras

With one loss and one win under their belt, Argentina play Honduras with everything on the line.

A win is the only thing that can take Argentina to the second round at the Olympics. A draw would take Honduras through due to goal difference (Honduras won their first match 4-3 and loss the second 2-1). A draw is no good for Argentina. With Victor CUESTA suspended due to getting red carded against Algeria, will Argentina pull out a victory or will they leave Rio early?

What do you think the result between Argentina vs. Honduras will be? Vote in the poll below!

Match Highlights: Argentina get important 3 points in win

It wasn’t easy but Argentina managed a 2-1 win against Algeria.

A match involving two red cards, several saves by RULLI and guilt edge chances missed by Jonathan CALLERI were all part of Julio OLARTICOECHEA”s plan… Alright, maybe it wasn’t. However, Argentina remain alive in the tournament.

Victor CUESTA picked up a second yellow card and was sent off in first half injury time. But it was Angel CORREA who gave 10 men Argentina the lead in the 48th minute. Algeria equalised shortly after but it was Jonathan CALLERI who scored the game winning goal to give his team the important win.

In between it all was a massive Jonathan CALLERI miss and a Cristian PAVON shot that hit the post (which he should have passed to SIMEONE for a tap in).

Argentina vs. Algeria, all the information

Argentina will be seeking 3 points when they play Algeria on Sunday night.

After losing their opening match at the Olympics 2-0 against Portugal, Argentina already find themselves in a must win situation as they play Algeria. Julio OLARTICOECHEA’s men were impressive in short bursts against the Portuguese but will need to be much better against Algeria.

There is an expected line-up change and that is involving both Cristian’s. That is to say that Cristian PAVON is rumored to replace Cristian ESPINOZA in the line-up.
