Maxi delight for Maradona

19th November 2008

A Maxi Rodriguez goal after eight minutes gave Diego Maradona a 1-0 victory in his first game in charge of Argentina against Scotland at Hampden.

Allan McGregor had a great save from Argentina skipper Javier Mascherano before Rodriguez finished off a fine move by sliding the ball past the Scotland keeper from close range.

The South Americans appeared to ease off after their blistering start but still dominated most of the match leaving the Scots looking for their first friendly win at the national stadium since 1996.
