FIFA U-20 World Cup Qualifiers: Don't Cry For Me Argentina...La La...La Laa

Brazil were today able to secure their second consecutive final round victory. This practically guarantees classification for the Under-20 World Cup.

Sweeter than classification for a World Cup would have to be that the latest victim was none other than favourite adversary Argentina.

Under heavy conditions in Maturin, Venezuela, Brazil were able to put the initial stamp on yet another generation of Argentinians, 2-0.

Argentina did have a goal legitimately annulled with 23 mins. on the clock. Neira scored a header off a free kick but there was a player involved in the play who was offside.

The Columbian linesman did a great job to call the infringement with the rain pouring down at the Monumental Stadium.

With 17 mins into the second half Benitez handled the ball in the area and Brazil was awarded a penalty. Kardec struck the spot-kick badly but luckily the Argentine keeper Rodriguez was unable to hold on and so 1-0 Brazil the scorecard read.

Argentina tried hard to equalise but in a Brazilian counterattack Douglas Costa squared for Giuliano to volley home for 2-0.

Brazil vs Argentina would not be the super derby it is without some kind of a skirmish.

Near the end of the match a bit of a clash broke out with one player from each side being sent off as a frustrated and vanquished Argentina had to be separated from the overjoyed Brazilians.

Brazil is now considered favourite to win the tournament.

At the start of the tournament there were questions about stars like Pato not being called to the squad. All the other countries are sporting players from Milan, Liverpool, and other European clubs.

Brazil opted to play a 100 percent Brazilian club based side and so far it's been nothing but pure samba and joy.
