Argentina beats Spain 4-1 in friendly to hand visitors 1st loss since World Cup

September 7, 2010 |The Associated Press

BUENOS AIRES, Argentina - Argentina handed Spain its first loss since winning the World Cup two months ago, earning a dominant 4-1 win Tuesday.

Argentina took a comfortable lead with first-half goals from Lionel Messi, Gonzalo Higuain and Carlos Tevez and was assisted by shaky goalkeeping from Spanish backup 'keeper Jose Reina.

Reina was beaten by Messi's lob in the 10th minute and Higuain's shot from a sharp angle in the 13th. The Liverpool keeper then slipped in the 34th when trying to clear a ball, which fell to Tevez who scrambled it home.

Fernando Llorente scored in the 84th for Spain and Sergio Aguero made it 4-1 for Argentina seconds into injury time
