Getting a place in final is our first aim, says Argentina’s Tevez

Getting a place in final is our first aim, says Argentina’s TevezAccording to the media reports, ace striker Carlos Tevez, who delighted coach Diego Maradona with two goals in the last-16 win over Mexico, has said that only a World Cup final place will satisfy Argentina.

Tevez headed home on 26 minutes and Gonzalo Higuain added the second goal minutes later. Then Tevez's kick from 25-yards sealed the win before Mexico's Javier Hernandez pulled one back.

The Sun quoted Tevez, as saying, "This was an important step towards getting to the final, which is where we want to be."

He further said, "We're now in the quarter-finals and what matters is that we played well. We need to rest and enjoy this victory."

But Mexico boss Javier Aguirre slammed referee Roberto Rossetti for allowing Tevez's offside opener.

"It affected us badly and then we conceded again. I blame the referee's mistake for the second goal too," Aguirre has said.

The report further noted that Argentina now face Germany in Cape Town on Saturday. (With Inputs from Agencies)
