17 17 Argentina has the early possession for the entire first minute of the game. He had all the time to deliver a low, driven cross and Gonzalez read it the whole way. Rondon sends the cross from the left, but it's a waist-high cross and Josef Martinez can't get his body squared up and he sends it out. 39th min.: And on the other end of the field, Venezuela nearly replicates the Argentina goal.
