News: Tardelli brace guides Brazil past Argentina BEIJING – Diego Tardelli scored twice to lead Brazil to a 2-0 win over Argentina in a friendly on Saturday, with Lionel Messi missing a penalty that would have tied the game in the first half. Tardelli volleyed home the opening goal in the 28th minute at Beijing’s Bird’s Nest Olympic stadium. Messi had a chance to level in the 41st after Angel Di Maria was fouled in the area, but his penalty was saved by Brazil goalkeeper Jefferson. Tardelli scored his second after a goalmouth scramble in the 64th, heading the ball past Sergio Romero to seal the win. Brazil has now won three straight games under coach Dunga after a disappointing end to the World Cup. Veterans Kaka and Robinho both came on as late substitutes for Brazil.
