A Battle Between Giants

September 7th was a day to remember. Two of soccer's most prestigious international teams, Spain and Argentina, dueled for 90 grueling minutes occupying the stadium "El Monumental," in Argentina. Argentina, as the host of the anticipated game, had a vigorous start, attacking from left and right. Messi, ranked as the best player in the world, scored the first goal as he raced down the left flank, to cut in and lob the ball over the goalie's head. Soon after, Higuain scored once again for the host team. But the scoring didn't cease there- Spain's goalie committed a cardinal sin as he miscontroled a simple pass, allowing the Manchester City forward, Tevez, to pass it in the net. One of Spain's underdogs, Llorente, against the misfortune, scored the lone goal for his country in the 84th minute. When it seemed like the game was over, Aguero scored for Argentina at the dying minutes to widen the gap between the two teams, leaving it at 4-1.
