For seventy minutes Argentina played the perfect away game. It looked as if Argentina lost their shape after the Riquleme substitution. They started to defend deeper and Klose's goal was a great piece of opportunism. He anticipated Borowski's flick on perfectly and Franco had no chance whatsoever.

Cruz is on for Crespo and although he lacks Crespo's mobility he is better in the air and harder to knock off the ball.

This one has a penalty kick look about it. The betting column in the Times says that penalty kicks actually favour the away team.

Both countries are 3-0 in WC penalty deciders. Germany has scored 13 of 14 and Argentina 11 of 14 penalties.

Just in case it goes the penalties - Argentina has won all three shoot outs and converted 11 of 14 spot kicks; Mexico has lost both shoot outs and only scored 2 of 7 penalties.

Argentina is just trying to keep control of the ball and Mexico desperately need to get it back.

Borgetti and Fonseca haven't been seen for a while.

The final whistle goes and in all honesty either country could have won this but a moment of brilliance from Maxi Rodriguez was the diference.

Man of the Match - Javier Mascherano, I thought he played a blinder.
