There was fear, doubt and worry. After two draws in the first two days, and a bad image, the victory meant an obligation to Argentina in their match against Costa Rica. The opposite would have been an unmitigated disaster. But the victory came at the hands of Team Batista, and did so with solvency 3-0. The young team of Costa Rica was never a match for the hosts, who dominated the crash at will and certified to pass the quarterfinals. Messi, with a great performance, Aguero, who scored twice, and Gago were the highlights.
The Argentine DT introduced, unlike the second day, several changes to the eleven. Gago stood next to Mascherano, Di Maria with acting, surprisingly, more than midfielder end. Messi, the epicenter of the reviews and looks, was between Agüero lines coming from the left and Higuain reference in attack, though a difficult angle on the right when need be. With this scheme, the Albiceleste was typical of the ball holder and Costa Rica expected back, not just press the exit of the rival, leaving play. And when he had the ball and lost easily.
Gago made it easy and was able to deal with solvency game, which is more than can be said for Banega and Cambiasso in previous games. The Real Madrid and had sought her presence and weight in the game, is what is asked of a player of his position. It is true that Costa Rica does not put excessive constraints and was not a big rival, but neither was a priori Bolivia. Argentina, without too much trouble, besieging the penalty area, but only threatened to rear at first appeared orderly.
But soon start to happen sometimes, as a shot that went narrowly Agüero, a dogfight after Higuain and Gago great pass from a head-stick Burdisso. Shortly after a society begin to be common throughout the game: Messi and auction assistance of Pipit. The Flea is disguised Laudrup to offer magnificent when it finally passes had a front that sought in the area. Higuain And again to take another class how to find the uncheck and space, but failed again and again in the definition. Up to four good chances took this argument.
But the goal finally come after a rebound of the hunt Aguero Costa Rican goalkeeper. Thus Argentina, and I mean the country, went quietly to rest. After this, Costa Rica look for victory with two offensive changes such as Brenes and Madrigal, but seven minutes into the second half would come second, again from Kun, who took another great pass from Messi. With Argentina as the absolute master of the game came third on 64 minutes, made by Di Maria. Guess who received assistance. The party has already been placid for Argentina, which was debuted at last Pastore, who showed conditions in just one quarter of an hour.
Then came the final whistle, and Argentina sealed a pass to the quarterfinals in a match that could end up in rout of scandal were not for failures in the auction or in a couple of penalties for the referee did not see. It remains to check whether the improvement is not flash in the pan. Costa Rica can be satisfied their performance in the Copa America, given that a team went sub 22 without their stars. However, the Ticos still waiting to pass options to the next round, as the two best third-ranked. For its part, Argentina hopes and rival, leaving behind what could have been a catastrophe. But as the tango, these entrees are not for you.
