On Friday morning (8), the first round of the World Cup qualifying tournament in South America began, and the champion Argentina continued the dominance of last year's tournament, defeating Ecuador at home by 1-0. The 36-year-old king of the ball, Misi, played the role of a savior again, scoring a wonderful penalty kick in the second half, and became a major contributor to the win, and equaled the Uruguayan goal scorer Luis Suarez's record of 29 goals, which is the highest number of goals scored in the history of the qualifying tournament of the South American region.
Argentina defends the first strike of the World Cup, pressed the opponent to attack, the first 10 minutes of the opening possession rate as high as 87%, but the Ecuadorian defense is tight, so Argentina seems to be a rat pulling a tortoise, there is no way to start, the most threatening thing in the first half is the Nadalu Martinez shot hit the post and bounced out.
After the change of sides, Mez had a solo performance, escaping from the opponent's encirclement and kicking the ball, but it was caught by the goalkeeper. In the 78th minute of the game, Argentina finally found a gap, and was awarded a penalty kick at the top of the penalty area, which Mez shot into the net, scoring in 8 consecutive international matches, accumulating 104 goals for the national team, and 53 assists, creating a total of 157 goals, surpassing Portugal's superstar Cron (156 goals) as the most goals in the history of international matches.
