Miranda stuns Argentina

Defender Miranda headed in a stoppage-time goal on Tuesday to give Brazil a 1-0 win over arch-rival Argentina in a friendly in Saudi Arabia.

Miranda met a corner from Neymar in the 92nd minute and headed past goalkeeper Sergio Romero to hand Brazil a third victory in the “Superclasico de las Americas.”

The match at King Abdullah Sports City in Jeddah featured few chances for either team.

Argentina was without Lionel Messi, and Paulo Dybala was ineffective up front.

Brazil’s next friendly will be in London against Uruguay in November as the team continues preparations for the Copa America tournament it will host next summer.
