Argentina said goodbye to their home fans before their World Cup trip with a 5-0 win over Canada.
Liverpool midfielder Maxi Rodriguez gave the Albicelestes a two-goal lead before the 32nd minute. In the 16th he opened the scoring with a free-kick from the left side before Carlos Tevez assisted him to made it 2-0 from a counter-attack.
Eight minutes before half-time, Angel Di Maria widened the gap as his shot went in off the left post. In the 62nd minute, Gonzalo Higuain assisted Tevez to beat keeper Pat Onstad. Sergio Aguero replaced Tevez in the 70th minute and only needed a few seconds to make it 5-0.
