Colombia 1 – Argentina 2 (South America World Cup Qualifying, November 15, 2011) (Alternative highlights.) Argentina were once again up-against-it after the first 45 minutes as, after losing Nicolas Burdisso to a serious knee injury early on, Dorlan Pabon curled home a free-kick on the stroke of halftime. Lionel Messi returned to scoring form on the hour as the Argentine striker started and finished an attack that the Colombians failed to adequately defend. Five minutes from time Argentina went ahead through Man City striker Sergio Aguero in an attack started by Messi.

Individual highlights: Lionel Messi.
