Argentina 1-0 Brazil

Lionel Messi scored deep into injury time as Argentina earned victory over Brazil in their friendly in Qatar.


Messi collected a pass from Ezequiel Lavezzi, dribbled past two defenders and brilliantly squeezed a shot into the far corner from 18 yards to win it.
Brazil had gone close in the first half when Ronaldinho's back-heel was saved and Dani Alves struck the crossbar. Argentina replied with a Messi shot that clipped the outside of the post, but the forward was not to be denied.


The goal, a typically wonderful effort from the Barcelona maestro, was Messi's first in five matches against Brazil and earned him his first win against Argentina's main rivals.
