Match Timeline
Match Commentary
91' And the final whistle is blown early, ending a quite sensatianal display by Argentina. Rodriguez (2), Cambiasso, Crespo, Tevez and Messi got the goals, Kezman was sent off and this was a footballing lesson. |
90' The good news for Serbia and Montenegro - there is only one minute of stoppage time. |
89' The question for Pekerman now is whether he can include Messi and Tevez in his team. Crespo and Saviola haven't done much wrong, but this pair are superb. |
