Two goals b in the minutes before half-time one of them an unusually fortunate counter from Lionel Messi, helped Argentina on it's way to a comfortable 3-0 win over Uruguay in a world cup qualifier here on Sunday.
Eight minutes before the break Messi floated a 35 metre pass into the area but it was missed by both advancing striker Nicoals Gonzalez and goalkeeper Fernando muslera and somehow sneaked into the net.
Six minutes later Laurtaro Martinez missed at a chance on the edge of the box but the loose ball fell into the path of Rodrigo de Paul who made no mistake
Martinez made up when he converted a low cross from De Paul 17 minutes into second half. "We played a great game" said Messi." Every thing worked out perfectly". Uruguay wait for you and they generate danger.
Once we got the first goal we started to find space and the goals appeared.
The win, combined with Brazil's 0-0 draw at Colombia earlier in the day, narrows the gap between leader Brazil and second-placed Argentina to six points at the top of the 10 team south American qualifying group. The stalemate also ended Brazil's nine match winning run.
