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.

Video: Paulo DYBALA scores, Gonzalo HIGUAIN debut

Paulo DYBALA scored a great goal for Juventus while Gonzalo HIGUAIN made his Juventus debut.

Paulo DYBALA scored Juventus’ first goal in their 3-2 win against West Ham to mark the official opening of London Stadium. DYBALA’s goal was one of pure class. Fantastic control to stop the ball as he slid the ball into the back of the net.

Gonzalo HIGUAIN made his Juventus debut in the match looking less than match fit. HIGUAIN clearly put on some weight.

Meanwhile in Brazil, Federico MANCUELLO scored a beauty for Flamengo in their 1-0 win against Atletico PR.
