A Neymar penalty in the third minute of injury time helped Brazil defeat Argentina 2-1 in the first leg of the 'Superclasico of Americas'.

"I think the result is not just, we had everything under control but that last move gave no retribution," said Argentina striker Hernan Barcos. The second leg will be on October 3 at the Bicentenario stadium in Resistencia City, Argentina with Brazil leading in their defence of the Dr Nicolas Leoz trophy.
