BRASILIA: A first half goal from Guido Rodriguez, his first in 11 international appearances, gave Argentina a 1-0 win over Uruguay in their Copa America clash on Friday.
The Real Betis midfielder headed home a Lionel Messi cross after 10 minutes to give Argentina all three points and condemn their neighbours to a losing start to their Copa campaign.
The result in a game that was both end-to-end but lacking in real excitement leaves Uruguay joint bottom of Group A with no points, alongside Bolivia, who have played two and lost two.
Argentina move into joint top spot with four points alongside Chile, who beat Bolivia 1-0 earlier on Friday. Paraguay have three points from one game.
