Sergio Agüero and Lionel Messi strike late as Argentina draw with Mexico | Football | The Guardian
Late goals from Sergio Agüero and Lionel Messi gave Argentina a 2-2 draw with Mexico and saved their blushes after they had dominated the match but failed to convert chances in an open friendly game in Dallas. Agüero scored after 85 minutes when Ezequiel Lavezzi took advantage of a mistake by the Mexican goalkeeper Moisés Muñoz and crossed for him to sidefoot into the empty net. Three minutes later Messi chested down the ball inside the box and then half-volleyed home to rob Mexico of the win.
Spain climbed above Slovakia to the top of Group C after a fortuitous early goal saw off a plucky Macedonia side. Juan Mata’s cross looped over the hapless Tome Pacovski and into the net via a combination of far post and keeper to give the visitors an eighth minute lead.

What were YOU doing when you were eleven? Watching cartoons? Learning your multiplication tables? One thing we're pretty sure you weren't doing is score goals that Lionel Messi would be proud of. But then, not many 11-year-olds are as insanely talented as Sergi Oriol.

Now 19, his rise to the top has been extremely well managed and as such the focus on his development hasn’t been quite so intense.
