REPORT:
Just like with the previous World Cup 2010 football matches, the first score was not accomplished during the first half of the game. It was a late goal for Argentina during the 77th minute through Demichelis. Demichelis smashed a left foot shot into the roof of the net from close range after his initial header had rebounded back off Milito from Argentina.

Not long after that successful goal, another goal was scored by Argentina, this time through Palermo in the 89th minute. Messi was again denied by the goalkeeper after a dazzling solo run. But this time, his substitute Palermo was on hand to pick up the scraps and side-foot coolly into the far corner of the net.
The game finished in the 92nd minute with no successful goals coming from Greece. Congratulations to Argentina for winning this World Cup 2010 football match against Greece.
