Messi secured victory for Argentina late in the game from the penalty spot, after Ronaldo had equalised for Portugal in the first half. "I'm satisfied with the way I played in the match. I was able to excel myself once, but I had other opportunites to score against the Argentines," he told Ole. "I must say, this game was not a duel between Messi and me. We played for Argentina and Portugal. We are both playing much better now than during the World Cup in South Africa. It was a pity we lost because Argentina were not superior to us. We played well. A draw would have been fair," said the Portuguese. Lionel Messi got the better of Cristiano Ronaldo in their first international meeting scoring a 90th-minute penalty and the two time world player of the year also provided the assist for Angel di Maria's 14th-minute goal, before Ronaldo levelled scores in the 21st minute.
