Argentina 0-1 Paraguay: Gonzalez grabs victory over sub-par Albiceleste

Oct 11, 2016 9:24:28 PM

A rapid counter early on proved the difference as the home team fell well short of expectations, while the Manchester City man compounded a bad night with a missed spot-kick

Sergio Aguero failed to convert a penalty as Argentina suffered their first home defeat in a World Cup qualifier against Paraguay, losing 1-0 in Cordoba.

Having declared himself fit despite sustaining a calf injury during training, Aguero failed to make his presence count when he had his spot-kick saved by Paraguay goalkeeper Justo Villar - who was making his first start since this year's Copa America.
