Russia 0-1 Argentina

Sergio Aguero scored an 86th-minute winner as Argentina claimed an international friendly victory against World Cup hosts Russia in Moscow.

Manchester City record goalscorer Aguero, who started in attack with Lionel Messi, headed home at the second attempt from close range.

The visitors dominated the game, claiming 70% of possession and having 19 shots to Russia's four.

It gives Argentina back-to-back wins for the first time since June.

Jorge Sampaoli's side were not at their best but thanks to Aguero this is another positive result, following on from the 3-1 win over Ecuador that sealed their place at next summer's finals in the final round of games in South America qualifying.

Having underwhelmed in June's Confederation Cup on home soil, Russia struggled to get a foothold in the game, which was played at the Luzhniki Stadium - the ground that will host the opening game and final of next summer's World Cup.
