It's all over, and Brazil take three much-needed points to leapfrog Paraguay in the CONMEBOL standings.
Coincidentally, it's the same scoreline that occurred the last time the two teams met in a World Cup qualifier in Argentina, the September 2009 bout in Rosario that was overseen by Maradona.
With the Albiceleste cut adrift in the qualification table, talk of a crisis spreads through the Argentinian media, with some suggesting the team will follow up the 2014 World Cup by "pulling a Netherlands."
However, the crisis talk soon abates when everybody realises that the South American system makes it virtually impossible for either Brazil or Argentina to sit out a World Cup. Phew!
The two teams look forward to their next meeting, a Superclasico de las Americas to be held at 4:30 a.m. in Yemen on Christmas morning to accommodate lucrative Middle Eastern sponsors.
