Argentina lost consecutive Copa America finals to Brazil in 2004 and 2007.
A cross from Manchester United winger Angel Di Maria to Higuan saw the Argentine turned in front of three Jamaica defenders to neatly educate the ball into the net in the 11th minute of play. Lionel Messi was below par compare to his usual performance. Though he created some chances, His most significant chance came in the 56th, when his lob shot from the top of the area was barely stopped by the outstretched arms of Jamaica goalkeeper Dwayne Miller.
Uruguay qualify as one of the best-finisher with-place finisher with four points.
