What a tragicomedy.
Higuain puts Argentina up 1-0 at the beginning of the second half. Then it starts pouring. And in the 90th minute, Peruvian substitute Rengifo nods one in to tie the game.
It’s all over for Argentina, or is it?
In the 93rd minute, Martin Palermo equalizes for Argentina. I missed it, but apparently Maradona does a belly flop to celebrate.
Then Peru kicks off and hits the Argentinian cross-bar from the halfway line. No goal.
Game ends. 2-1. Maradona’s Argentina squeak by. Messi was largely ineffective – again.
Now it’s Uruguay on Wednesday.
