Argentina made it three wins in a row against a Greek side who never looked like troubling the South Americans. Greece were determined to defend for the whole match, which made it a boring contest. Argentina had several attempts at goal in the first half and dominated possession. The Greeks didn’t have a single shot at goal. Things got worse after the break. Greece’s 11-man defense and their tactic of fouling at every opportunity really quietened the crowd. A goal finally came with 13 minutes of the game remaining. Martin Demichelis’ header rebounded to him and he gratefully smashed it into the back of the net from the edge of the six-yard box. The second came soon after. Messi’s shot was palmed away by the ‘keeper only for Martin Palermo to be at hand to find the goal.
