Argentina got a world Cup qualifying campaign off to the perfect start on Friday when Lionel Messi's early penalty gave them a 1-O win over Ecuador in a lacklustre match in Buenos Aires.
Argentina had lost just one of their last eight World Cup qualifiers against Ecuador and although they could not add to the scoreline they never looked in danger of losing in a Scrappy game against limited opponents.
"It was a tough year for all the world, for us Argentina residents. To be able to play and give some joy to people with this victory, beyond the match itself, is good to take some of the stress off," Messi said.
