Rodriguez strike sees Argentina through

Argentina 2 Mexico 1 AET

Argentina secured a place against Germany in the quarter-finals but it needed a wonder goal in extra time from Maxi Rodriguez to secure their passage.

Mexico opened the scoring through skipper Rafael Marquez only for Jared Borgetti to appear to score an own goal although Hernan Crespo claimed it.

The decisive blow came from Rodriguez in the 98th minute when he fired an unstoppable volley into the corner.
