Two inspired substitutions from under fire coach Diego Maradonahelped Argentina to an entertaining 3-2 victory, condemning Ru sia to a rare home defeat.Lisandro Lopez and debutant Jesus Datolo both scored within a minute of coming on to give the out of form South Americans a morale boosting win ahead of their crucial upcoming World Cup qualifiersfollowing Sergio Agueros earlier equaliser in the first half.Maradona- keeps his unbeaten friendly record!Argentina Anthony Rendon Jersey gave a debut to Huracan midfielder Mario Bolatti whilst Nicolas Otamendi made only his second start in the heart of the defenceover the more experienced Daniel Diaz. However, the biggest news from the Argentina team Luis Valbuena Jersey sheet was the exclusion of Lionel Me si as the Barcelona superstar hadpulled out of the game through injury.Me sis absence gave Sergio Aguero a more prominent role up front with target man Diego Milito. Following an initial scare where Otamendi looked worryingly lacklustre, the two Argentinastrikers combined magnificently only to see Akinfeev save well from Aguero at the near post.However, the familiar defensive frailties that had been exposed in recent months returned as inexperienced defender Otamendi failed to pick up Zenit St Petersburg midfielder Igor Semshov who promptly fired past the grip of Andujer to give the Ru sians a 1-0 lead after 15 minutes.Despite Aleksandr Kerzhakov spurning further opportunities to extend the Ru sians lead,Argentina pulled level just before the break as a weak clearance fell to Aguero on the edge of the penalty area allowing the little Atletico Madrid striker to hit a rasping drive past the despairing Akinfeev for the equaliser.Celebrations for the Argies in Moscow!Things then got even better for the Blake Wood Jersey visitors as theybegan the second half just as they hadended the first. Maradona will be taking the credit as Lisandro Lopez latched on to a through ball fromthe unstoppable Aguerobefore beating a defender and shooting low into the back of the net merely thirty seconds after coming on to give Argentina a 2-1 lead.The goal inspired Argentina intoa period of rare dominance often unseenin the Maradona reign, giving onlookers a breathtaking exhibition of quick pa s and move football. The managers golden touch continued in the 58th minute as another driving run from Aguero drew the defender out allowing him to play in substitute Jesus Datolo who calmly finished past the despairing Akinfeev for a 3-1 lead.A Kole Calhoun Jersey deflected free kick from Tottenham striker Roman Pavlyuchenko in the 78th minutetook some of the glo s off the eventual 3-2 victory but that will fail to trouble Maradona. On a night where the coach was devoid of some of his best players in Carlos Tevez, Lionel Los Angeles Angels Of Anaheim Jersey Me si and Martin Demichellis; alarge majority of his squad players put one of the vastly improving European nations to the sword with some spellbinding attacking football. If Argentina can replicate this kind of performance on a more consistent basis, their ticket to South Africa in 2010 will be well and truly booked. youtube:
