A major goal of the Benfica player Angelo di Maria has become an Olympic gold - the second consecutive - the fate of Argentina.

The combined albiceleste of Barcelona striker Lionel Messi has won the finals (1-0) after suffering, and much, before an impetuous selection Nigerian deserved better after his monologue venture in the second half.

Mistake Referral to top

Nigeria has left the party far more cautious than bold, while his rival only lived Lionel Messi. The meeting has started cold, as infected by the atmosphere in the stands, that was pure ice and that contrasted with a suffocating room temperature.

Whenever Nigerians arrived, threatening right, with Sani Kaito, and each time it tried to strike, Argentina sought to Leo Messi between the lines.

Still missing in argentina a reference top selection, as Sergio Kun Agüero is not a battering ram nato and Messi can not always make the game of his life to bridge the "bottlenecks" which sometimes are generated on your computer.

CLAIM penalty

At 20 minutes of play, has claimed a penalty on the player of Barcelona and, shortly before Juan Roman Riquelme had launched a failure "to limbo."

Promisse Isaac, in minute 42, has had a golden opportunity for eagle Greens, who have finished the first part being a team faster, more vertical, more solvent and much more threatening than originally planned.

A shot by Di Maria has been the best until then, when the first part and agonizaba. Vanzekin has made an outstanding stop and the 0-0 has remained unchanged to rest.

/> Options goal

In the second half, Nigeria seemed much more vigorous. And it has been. Argentina has already suffered and all fiaba a move Lionel Messi, but there has been a solo and without consequences (min. 49).

Everything did indicate that Nigeria was closer to hang the gold and could consummate somewhat against all odds. At that time, Di Maria has appeared to resolve with a touch of masterly and subtle a pass from Messi. Thus, the extreme left-handed has chopped the ball over the goalkeeper and has achieved one of the most spectacular goals of the tournament.

Leo against all

Nigeria has ido up and was able to tie, but Obinna and Odemwinge have not been successful. Even so, Nigeria has ruled the middle field and has a tight neck Argentina, which has just breathed when Messi has taken control the ball and went to counterattack.

It was Leo and against all such battle, so uneven, has been on the verge of giving likewise the albiceleste (min. 81), but Nigeria was opposite to his glory minute.

The draw has not come because football is somewhat random and, today, the stars have been with Argentina, which has been taken thus the final revenge of the Atlanta-96. That day there was more spectacle, but the gold in Beijing is the same.
