World soccer friendly results
Messi stunner sinks Brazil in football classic
DOHA : A brilliant solo goal in injury time by Lionel Messi earned Argentina a 1-0 victory over their arch-rivals Brazil in an international friendly here on Wednesday.
The Barcelona superstar picked up the ball midway inside the Brazil half and weaved past four defenders before firing a low shot into the bottom-right corner with just a minute of added time to play.
It was Messi's first ever goal against Brazil and allowed Argentina to record their first win against their old enemies since June 2005.
His strike also allowed coach Sergio Batista to celebrate victory in his first game in charge since he was confirmed as the long-term successor to Diego Maradona.
