Argentina - Bolivia 3 - 0 (18 Nov 2007 14:15 GMT)
Argentina, helped by a majestic performance by Juan Román Riquelme, maintained its perfect record in the World Cup qualifiers over the weekend.
Argentina, top of the group, struggled to break down its stubborn opponents, Bolivia, for 40 minutes before going ahead when Sergio Aguero, 19, headed his first international goal.
That opened the way for another Riquelme master class.
He signaled his intentions with a free kick that was tipped away by the goalkeeper Carlos Arias in the 51st minute.
Six minutes later, Riquelme took another free kick and this time left Arias helpless as he found the top left-hand corner.
He followed that up with a stylish side-footed goal from Lionel Messi's run in the 74th minute.
It left Argentina with 9 points from three games in the South American group.
