Diego Tardelli Scores Twice in Brazil vs. Argentina Friendly in Beijing

John GreelyOct 11, 2014

Brazil took on Argentina on Saturday in a match featuring Lionel Messi, Neymar and some of the world's brightest talents.

But the man who opened the scoring wasn't one of the headliners—it was 29-year-old Brazilian Diego Tardelli, who scored a tidy volley in the 28th minute. 

Neymar nearly made it 2-0 on a brilliant bit of skill, but his finish left a lot to be desired.

Argentina were given a golden opportunity to draw level in the 41st minute, but Messi's penalty was denied by Brazil keeper Jefferson.

Tardelli made it 2-0 in the 64th minute, finding himself unmarked at the far post for an easy header.
