Summary
Argentina beat Peru 2-1 in their pursuit of the 2010 World Cup. Coach Diago Maradona hoped his team will beat Paraguay to make place in mega event. In Buenos Aires, the first half of the game passed without any goal. Couple of minutes after the second half Argentina Higuain Gonzalo smashed the first goal. This interesting match continued in rain also. Argentina coach Diego Maradona called the goal by second-half substitute Martin Palermo the Miracle of St. Palermo. The scrambled goal, three minutes into second-half injury time, helped struggling Argentina scrape by Peru 2-1 yesterday. That means the two-time champions will reach next year's World Cup in South Africa if they can win on Wednesday in the final round of qualifying at bitter rival Paraguay.
