Messi Made The Difference -Says Pekerman
was the difference in his team's World Cup
qualifying loss to Argentina.
Messi's stunning early free-kick was followed by
two assists for the Barcelona maestro in his
team's 3-0 victory on Tuesday.
Pekerman lamented conceding the early goal
against an Argentina team who came into the
clash on the back of a four-game winless run.
"They scored the first goal and that strengthened
them," he said.
"We started the game well and thought it was
going to have another way. If it happened the
other way around, Argentina also would've felt
it.
"After the first and second goal, we complicated
the game and Messi made the difference."
The result saw Colombia fall to sixth in the
CONMEBOL standings, while they failed to score
in both games this month.
Pekerman acknowledged the difficulties his team
were having in attack.
"It's not been easy for us to find a goal," he
said. "[Radamel] Falcao played a good game,
always looked like scoring."
