Argentina beat Nigeria 1-0 with an early goal of defender Heinze

Argentina beat Nigeria with 1:0 with a goal by defender Gabriel Heinze. The ball met the net just six minutes into the game, but for the next 84 there was not much happening until the very last 10 minutes when Nigeria was an inch away from scoring an equaliser. The goal came as a surprise for fans as well as bookmakers as on the field were some of the top offensive players who play in the European leagues including Real Madrid's Gonzalo Higuain and Manchester City's Carlos Tevez. Argentina's big star Lionel Messi, who is currently playing in Barcelona, was also playing in this international clash.While many think that Argentina's win over Nigeria was more than expected, the game turned out to be quite tense. One goal could have decided the match and it was maybe luck, or maybe pure genius in tactics that brought the ball to the Nigerian net. With statistics proving Argentina a bit too defensive, the team still goes on forward into the tournament. While Maradonna surely knows that his team will need to improve their game to meet the expectation. They are certainly big - many bookmakers have Argentina as a top favourite for winning this year's World Cup. World Cup tickets are available here. Buy tickets for the World Cup and never miss a game!
