    A chance for Angel Di Maria to make it 1-1. He bursts through the Brazil back line but the ball gets stuck underneath his feet and that gives the Brazilian defence the opportunity to get back in time and take any power out of the shot.

    Neymar will certainly know he has been in a game. Only three minutes after an early second-half reducer from Javier Mascherano, Federico Fernandez is the latest player to flatten the Barcelona front man.

    Swansea's Fernandez, who was involved in the defensive mix-up that led to Brazil's goal is the next man to be cautioned.

    Earlier on Saturday, Radamel Falcao, pictured above right, scored for Colombia as they beat El Salvador 3-0 in a friendly.

    The Manchester United striker opened the scoring in the eighth minute, before Sevilla's Carlos Bacca grabbed a brace to complete the win.

    In other games, West Ham's Enner Valenica struck late on to rescue a 1-1 draw for Ecuador against the United States, who had led through Mikkel Diskerud's early goal, while QPR's Eduardo Vargas scored twice as Chile beat Peru 3-0. Inter's Gary Medel grabbed the other goals for the hosts.

  4. WHAT A MISSpublished at 14:19 British Summer Time 11 October 2014

    Get back in defence Filipe Luis. The Chelsea full-back finds himself in the centre-forward position after an intelligent through pass from Neymar. But Luis is no Brazilian number 10. He shoots wildly, loosely, miles over the top when clear with only the goalkeeper to beat.

    He retreats back into defence looking a bit sheepish.

    Many players have felt Javier Mascherano's studs on their knee during the Argentine enforcer's career. Neymar is the latest to suffer as he is the victim of a poor challenge near the touchline. But the free-kick is wasted. Neymar is OK to continue and Mascherano is lucky to get away with that one.

    Justin Kee Son:, external Some of those Brazil players are a disgrace for pushing and handling the ref like that (after the penalty was awarded).

    Justin Lee:, external Brazil vs Argentina international ''friendly''. Players are playing as though it's the World Cup final.

  12. HALF-TIMEpublished at 13:58 British Summer Time 11 October 2014

    So Brazil go in at half-time with the lead. Argentina made a bright start but could not capitalise on their possession with Angel Di Maria firing over from just outside the penalty area on two occasions.

    Brazil went ahead against the run of play, with Diego Tardelli's well-controlled volley.

    Argentina, who should have had an early penalty when Sergio Aguero was fouled, are awarded a late spot-kick but Lionel Messi's effort is saved by Brazilian goalkeeper Jefferson.

  13. MISSED PENALTY - MESSI (ARGENTINA)published at 13:52 British Summer Time 11 October 2014

    Arguably the best player in world football, but that's a pretty awful penalty. Lionel Messi's spot-kick is weak and not in the corner. It gives Jefferson a chance to be the hero and that's what he becomes.

    The Brazil goalkeeper pushes the ball away, another chance then falls to Messi and he shoots wide, but the assistant's flag was up for the second opportunity anyway.

  14. PENALTY FOR ARGENTINApublished at 13:51 British Summer Time 11 October 2014

    Angel Di Maria runs at the Brazil defence and is challenged by Brazil right-back Danilo. Penalty is given. It is harsh. Danilo got some of the ball and it looks a perfectly-timed tackle. Brazil are furious and Danilo ends up in the book. Lionel Messi to take the penalty...

    Neymar is showing once again just how important he is to this Brazil side. He missed the 7-1 mauling by Germany through injury and he has been his team's star player once again.

    Another fine piece of skill sees him go past two Argentina defenders but his shot on goal is blocked by Javier Mascherano.

  16. Postpublished at 13:46 British Summer Time 11 October 2014

    A magical run from Neymar sees the Brazil forward ease through the Argentina defence. However, good goalkeeping from Sergio Romero keeps the score at 1-0.

    The keeper stands up for as long as possible and Neymar tries to take the ball around him, but gets things wrong with the ball harmlessly dribbling out of play for a goal kick.

    Brazil's number nine Diego Tardelli has been banging the goals in for his club Atletico Mineiro, boasting a total of 34 goals in 92 appearances for the Brazilian side.

    He is off the mark now for his country.

    Brazil take the lead against the run of play. And it is because of horrible, messy defending from Argentina. A ball is played into the Argentina penalty area from the right by Oscar and Pablo Zabaleta and Federico Fernandez get in each other's way.

    Fernandez heads the ball out to Diego Tardelli and the Atletico Mineiro forward scores his first international goal with a well-struck volley past Sergio Romero.

    Muhammed Owais:, external This is the difference between Brazil and Argentina. Aguero denied clear penalty while Neymar dives and gets easy penalties.

    Soccer Pundit:, external Brazil have got to give their fans a good result today. Most especially to calm that 7-1 trashing by Germany in the World Cup.
