The Qatari capital of Doha's Khalifa International Stadium is the scene for tonight's international friendly between Brazil and Argentina.

Brazil: Victor; Dani Alves, Thiago Silva, David Luiz, André Santos; Lucas, Ramires, Elias; Ronaldinho, Neymar, Robinho.

Argentina: Romero; Zanetti, Pareja, Burdisso, Heinze; Banega, Mascherano, Pastore, Messi; Higuaín, Di María.

GOAL! Argentina 1-0 Brazil (Messi 90+2) Messi wins the game for Argentina with a sensational goal in injury-time. Picking the ball up on the halfway line, he pinged it forward to Lavezzi, sprinted ahead of his team-mate and picked up the return pass. With four - yes, four! - Brazil defenders surrounding him, he jinked right, then left and drifted a little more left before firing a low drive across Victor's bows and into the bottom right-hand corner. A marvellous goal from the Atomic Ant, who gets harshly booked for his celebrations.

There's the details, sounded like a fantastic match!

The wee guy on Yahoo! Live musta been a fanboy, he made it sound epic.

Lol, must have been mate.

Was some decent play in the middle of the park at times from Ronaldinho and Messi, but the final ball most of the time was pretty poor for so many talented players.

Was not many chances created by either side and a draw probably would have been the fair result.

Why has he booked for his celebration? He didn't do anything <cr>

Thought it was a shit game. Some nice passing and movement at times but both teams tried to walk the ball into the net, took too many touches or strike some horrendous shots at goal. It was too congested at times and too stop start. The Brazilian's should have taken Messi out whilst on his run for the goal.
