Friendly match: Argentina beats Nigeria 3:1

Super Eagles striker Chinedu
Ogbuke Obasi came on as a
substitute to score Nigeria's
only goal when Argentina
gained revenge for their June
loss to Nigeria by defeating
the Super Eagles 3-1 in
Bangladesh on Tuesday.
Before a sell-out crowd at the
25,000-capacity Bangabandhu
Stadium in Dhaka, Gonzalo
Higuain opened the scoring
for the South Americans after
24 minutes.
Moments later, his Real Madrid
team-mate Angel di Maria
doubled the lead.
Although Chinedu Obuasi
Ogbuke reduced arrears a
minute after the break, an
own goal from Uwa Echiejile
after 65 minutes wrapped up
the win.
Unlike the game in June, when
Argentina fielded a second-
string side preparing for the
Copa America, the South
Americans fielded a strong
team.
Barcelona's Lionel Messi was
the standout star, creating
two of the goals, with Javier
Mascherano and defensive
duo Pablo Zabaleta and
Nicolas Burdisso also in
attendance.
