Go to the movie to see Di Maria shoot a penalty kick
World Cup champions Argentina were without Ballon d'Or winner Mace and another veteran, Di Maria, presided over the overall situation, creating two incoming waves, including penalties, to beat Costa Rica 3-1 and the United States 2-2 on their trip to the United States in an international warm-up match on Wednesday (27).
Argentina started the match on a high note, but Costa Rica's goalkeeper Quirognajas had a great game, defusing many crises. Argentina was countered once by Costa Rica in the 34th minute by Ugarte, the first time in the last 10 warm-up matches that Argentina lost a wave.
However, after the change of sides, Argentina were soon leveled by Di Maria's major penalty and a corner with a 36-year-old. The Argentine players attacked with the hammer and finally Alex McAleese added the top, got into the net and went over the top. Nadalu Martinez also scored a goal from the bench, and the Inter Milan scorer finally broke his 15-game international goal drought as Argentina won 10 straight warm-up matches.
