Werder Bremen playmaker Diego had to watch the final bitter moments of Brazil’s Olympic semi-final clash with Argentina from the bench. As Argentine superstar Juan Roman Riquelme converted a penalty kick in the 76t minute to make it 3-0, Brazil’s dreams of gold were quashed for sure.
Five minutes before, the 23 year old midfielder was substituted by trainer Carlos Dunga to make way for a further striker. 53,000 spectators at Beijing’s ‘Workers-Stadium’ saw Atletico Madrid’s Sergio Aguero set Argentina on their way to the final with a second half brace (52’ / 58’) to stun the ‘Selecao’.
On Friday, 22.08.2008, the South Americans will take on Belgium in the battle for bronze. The kick-of in Shaghai will be at 1pm (CET).
