Di Maria helped, on the past Saturday, Argentina revalidating the Men’s Football Olympic Title. Argentina had won the Gold Medals before in Athens 2004. On these Olympic Games, the young player had a preponderant work on the team, and also scored the victory goal.
The Beijing National Stadium received the final match, Argentina played against Nigeria. The National Team of Nigeria was giving a good replica, until the 58th minute when, Di Maria that received a great pass from Messi, ran along the left side and made the ball go over the Nigerian goalkeeper, scoring a beautiful goal.
Ángel had already scored a goal earlier on this tournament, while playing on the match against Holland.
To the Press he said:
“I didn’t expect to score the goal. The few seconds, while the ball was passing over the Keeper, took to long.”
“We have the Gold Medals and that’s what really matters.”
