The Socceroos first met with Argentina in 1988 for the Bicentennial Gold Cup, and is the Socceroos‘ only win against the Argentinians – 4 – 1.
Since then, Australia has had five losses and one draw against the Latin nation.
The upcoming match between Australia and Argentina comes after the Socceroos’ recent triumph over Denmark – 1 – 0 – with Mathew Leckie scoring a goal in the 60th minute.
After the game, Leckie said: “As the ball was rolling in, I saw it going in, I was so excited and so happy.”
“By the celebration you see how much emotion there was.
“I’m just so proud. We’ve worked so hard. This is my third World Cup now and I’ve had my chances in previous World Cups to score, wasn’t meant to be.
“My first World Cup (goal) is probably one of the most important goals for me and for the team,” he added.
