Cambiasso spot on as Argies advance

Argentina's Javier Saviola and Mexico's Rafael Marquez were both sent-off in the dying seconds of an otherwise uneventful 90 minutes, before Carlos Salcido opened the scoring for Mexico after 104 minutes and Luciano Figueroa equalised six minutes later.

After 11 successful conversions from the spot in the resulting shoot-out, Argentina goalkeeper German Lux denied Ricardo Osorio, and Esteban Cambiasso calmly slotted away the following kick to give his country a 6-5 win on penalties.
