Argentina lacked the injured superstar Lionel Messi.

Then Thiago Almada stepped forward and shot the reigning World Champions closer to the Football World Championship with a dream goal.

With a cannon from 16 meters, the Lyon player decided the away match against Uruguay (1–0) in the South American World Championship qualifiers.

Argentina can now become the first team from the continent to qualify for the championship in the USA next year.

Victory against rival Brazil in Buenos Aires on Tuesday and it's clear.
