The disappointment of the draw does not leave Argentina. After a 0-0 draw against Colombia, Argentina also drew 1-1 in the World Cup qualifying match against Ecuador yesterday. However, the required 1 point has arrived. They need 2 more points to qualify for the World Cup, they have two more matches ahead of them. On the other hand, Spain added a boost of confidence by winning 2-0 against Ireland.
Argentina started playing in 5-4-3 formation. They succeeded in just 4 minutes. Sergio Aguero scored from the penalty to give Argentina the lead. Alexander Dominguez threw Di Maria inside the box and Argentina got a penalty.
However, they could not keep the goal for long. In the 17th minute, Ecuador's midfielder Castillo sent the ball over the goalkeeper's head from a free kick into the Argentinian net. No one scored after that in the first half. Instead, each other's attacks seemed to stop around the D box.
Argentinian coach Sabella came on as a replacement for Messi in the second half to change the situation. He entered the field as a replacement for Aguero in the 61st minute. However, Messi was not in his own rhythm on the field. Although they could make several balls, they could not open the Ecuadorian goal. In addition, Ecuador tried to attack within a few minutes when Mascherano received a red card in the 86th minute. However, with a team of 10 people, Argentina left the field with a draw.
However, because the referee is anti-Argentina, Argentina has to see four yellow cards in addition to a red card from the referee in this match!
On the other hand, in the other match of the day, Spain striker Pedro saw a yellow card against Ireland in just 11 minutes of play. More than the other day, Spain's game in this match has returned to the previous Tikitaka rhythm. Although they jumped six times in the first half of Iceland's goal, they did not get a goal.
In the 59th minute of the second half, David Villa was replaced by Roberto Soldado, and in the 68th minute, Roberto gave Spain the coveted goal. The Valencia striker dribbled past 3 Irish defenders to find the goal. In the 69th minute, coach Del Bosque put Juan Mata on the field after Xavi. In the 88th minute, he rewarded the coach's trust by scoring the second goal of the match. The win saw Spain bounce back ahead of the upcoming Confederations Cup and take a step closer to the World Cup with a full three points.
