GAME SUMMARY The Argentina football team won the first gold medal for its country in any olympic sport since 1952 (with the basketball team also doing so on the same day at night) by beating Paraguay 1-0 in an all-South American final. Although the Argentines were overwhelming favorites to win the title (their presence in the final was preceded by a perfect record of 5-0 wins and 16-0 goals), in the decisive game—played at a very unusual time, 10 am, due to TV requirements, under a scorching heat and with many empty seats in the Olympic Stadium—they failed to impress against a Paraguayan squad who frustrated their rivals with a stubborn defense but couldn’t stop the tournament’s top scorer Carlos Tévez from netting the winner. As expected from these two South American arch-rivals, Argentina and Paraguay played a very physical game, with constant fouls, and two Paraguayan players were sent off: Martínez was shown a red card for elbowing D’Alessandro in the face in the 66th minute, and Figueredo received a second yellow card eight minutes from the end for ball handling.
If underdog Paraguay didn’t already have a tough enough job to stop the hot favorites, their best striker José Cardozo was ruled out for the final because of an injury he suffered in the semifinal against Iraq. Argentina started the final in a dominant way, and it didn’t take them long to go ahead. In minute 18, Coloccini broke from his own area to run 30 meters and release Rosales down the right, the pacy Newell’s Old Boys winger sent a trademark cross to the near post and Tévez, running between central defenders Manzur and Gamarra, prodded the ball home from close range. With Argentina playing without a specific center forward, Tévez had complete freedom to move up front, and his speed and dribbling terrorized the Paraguayan defense. Just before halftime, the Boca Juniors attacker nearly struck again when he cut in from the left and aimed a low shot toward the far corner, but the goalkeeper fisted it away at full stretch.
Although the Argentine domination continued during the second half, they failed to deliver the definitive blow. Rosales came close to make it 2-0, but his shot went just wide off the post, and Lucho González also missed in front of a gaping goal. In minute 66, Paraguay was reduced to ten men when defender Emilio Martínez was sent off for felling D’Alessandro with his elbow to halt another promising Argentine move. Even in this situation, the most talented Paraguayan player, Diego Figueredo, could have equalized after an excellent dribbling display, but goalkeeper Lux miraculously saved his shot on goal. In minute 82, Paraguay’s hopes all but dissapered when Figueredo himself was shown a second yellow card for handling the ball “Maradona style” trying to turn home a free kick by Cristaldo. In the end, the disappointed Greek spectators who had suffered the morning heat and a poor display at the Olympic Stadium received the Argentine victory with some whistles, but this didn’t stop the Albiceleste players from celebrating a much anticipated gold medal (especially after the terrible frustration of losing the Copa América a month before, when virtually the same team was defeated by arch-rivals Brazil after a penalty shoot-out). |
