In Wednesday's passionate clash, Argentine soccer superstar Máez was once again the undisputed leader of the game, performing the art of passing and assisting Nadal Martínez with a stunning barbed hook to give Peru a narrow 1-0 victory at home in the South American qualifying round. With a staggering 58 assists in the match, Misi is now tied with American soccer legend Lu Yun for the top spot on the all-time international assists list.
However, Argentina went down 1-2 to Paraguay in last Friday's match. Upon returning home, the team's morale was high and their defense was solid. With 22 minutes to go, a shot from Zulian Ivaris went close to the net, but unfortunately the post was his stopper. This was followed by a fierce shot from Alex McAleese which also hit the post. The Liverpool-born midfielder was unable to change the scoreline despite following up with an attack.
As the match resumed, Argentina's attack intensified and finally broke the deadlock in the 55th minute. A precise cross from the left by Mace was met by Nadal Martinez, who once again showed his amazing footwork to deftly invert the ball into the net, bringing the Inter Milan striker's tally of worldies to three. Mez also reached his 58th national team assist, tying him with Lu Yun's all-time record, which is not far to go, after all, the latter has retired. Despite continuing to pose a threat, Argentina failed to extend their lead and continued to lead the table with a narrow 1-0 win.
