Argentina 2 - Venezuela 0

In a match that proved their superiority, the Argentines defeated the Venezuelans on the road convincingly. The Argentine defense was in shutout form the entire game, except for the first ten minutes of the second half. Still, they pitched a shutout and could have won by four goals or more had Messi taken it upon himself to shoot the ball more often when he had open looks. Messi's unselfishness cost his team somewhere between one and three goals on the night. Still, it did not matter as the Argentines cemented their place at the top of the South American group table. Both teams resume play on November 17th.

Goals scored:
Argentina: G. Milito 16; Messi 43
