There lived through Argentina yesterday one of the most extreme evenings of your life. With Maradona in doubt, in a field on which it rained torrentially and Peru ready to him water down the holiday, the albiceleste went forward with a goal of the madridiata Higuaín. The first one so much came to the beginning of the second part, thanks to an extraordinary vertical pass of Aimar to an inmate much of those of the Pipita that enabled by a defender who did not throw the line, it defined of crossed shot.

It is not a party to speak on the alignment, not if Messi of Argentina is not that of the Barca. It was the party of Martín Palermo. The whole Argentina was viewing that your last opportunity was fading away to qualify for the World cup when Hernán Rengifo dialed the tie up in the minute 89 for Peru. The Monumental one of River silenced and nobody was already singing “… I am an Argentinian, it is a feeling, I cannot stop …”.
Then it emerged the figure of Martín Palermo to push to the network a ball lost in the second stick in 93. The stadium went crazy, with Maradona to the head throwing itself in iron on the overwhelmed lawn. St Martin Palermo had worked the miracle adding a new chapter to your without pair career.

Although it did not finish there the madness: the saque of Peruvian center was converted into a throwing that finished in the crossbeam and if the umpire had waited one more second to whistle, it would have had to point out penalty in favor of Peru. But the party finished 2-1 and Maradona it will have the possibility of passing at the last hour if they conquer this week to Uruguay.

For his part, Portugal conquered 3-0 to Hungary. It went forward in min. 18 thanks to Simao, who hunted one pushes back of the doorman to center of Cristiano Ronaldo. The star of Madrid, of whom it is not possible to doubt your commitment with the Portuguese selection, suffered from your injury and had to be replaced in the minute 27 with your ex-partner of the United, Nani.

Hungary only worried with a butt to the crossbeam to the knife-edge of the rest. In the second half the combined Portuguese dominoes and it ended up by closing the party with goals of Liedson and Simao. If Portugal conquers this week to Malta (party in the one that will not be CR7) will play the play-off thanks to the victory of Denmark on Sweden (1-0, Polsen goal).

In the yesterday day eight selections insured themselves your direct classification for the appointment of South Africa 2010: Mexico, Chile, the USA, Serbia, Italy, Denmark, Germany and Côte d’Ivoire.
