Argentina booked a place on the final after a very impressive win over Mexico tonight in Puerto Ordaz. Manchester united defender Gabriel Heinze opened the scoring on 45th minute when he connected to Reqelme's free kick just to score his second international goal in 39 appearance. Lionel messi, collecting a pass from outstanding Reqelme, put the game further away from Mexicans beautifully lobbing the ball over the outstretched hands of the goalkeeper on 61st minute (see the goals on the leftside). Four minute later, Juan Riquelme sent the goal keeper wrong way to make it 3-0 after Carlos Tevez was fouled in penality box and killing any fighting spirit left in Mexicans.Argentina's win sets up a dream final match with arch rival Brazil on Sunday. Brazil was victorious in penalty shootout when these two South American giants met in 2004 final. Dejected Mexicans will play against Uruguay on Saturday for third place.
