Argentina after 52 years

AFP, Athens
Argentina's footballers won their country's first Olympic Games gold medal for 52 years on Saturday with a 1-0 win over
South Ame-rican rivals Paraguay in a bruising final.
Pint-sized striker Carlos Tevez, with his eighth goal of the tournament, was Argentina's hero as his team won a first ever football gold while Paraguay ended the tournament in disgrace having two players red-carded.
Tevez, just 20, struck early in the
first half of a final Argentina dominated and in which they kept their impressive record of not having conceded a goal in the tournament.
"I would like to thank my coach (Marcelo Bielsa) for believing in me," said Tevez who, like his hero Diego Maradona, proudly wears the number 10 shirt for his country and has been a revelation in this event.
"This win is for him. Winning the gold medal is a great feeling because we are a great team and we believe in each other."
Paraguay skipper Carlos Gamarra said that despite the defeat, they were happy to have become the first sportsmen from their country to win a medal
of any description at the Games.
"We wanted to win gold, but Argentina are a very good side," said Gamarra.
"However, by winning silver we have still made history for Paraguay and that makes us very proud. It's a fantastic achievement."
Paraguay went into the match already handicapped by the absence of injured top-scorer Jose Cardozo who had grabbed five of his team's 12 goals on their way into the final.
Argentina, who left Barcelona star Javier Saviola on the bench, were fired by history.
Despite collecting two World

Cups, they had never managed to win Olympic gold with just two silver medals to show in 1928 and 1996.
Argentina should have had the match, which started at 10:00 a.m. (0700GMT) to avoid the fierce afternoon heat as well as a clash with the athletics programme later in the day, wrapped up by the interval.
But they had to be content with just Tevez's 18th minute goal.
Fabricio Coloccini played a perfect through ball for Cesar Delgado whose pinpont cross from the right fell at the feet of the Boca Juniors striker whose cool side-footed finish was swept past Diego Barreto in goal.
He could have had more.
He was denied twice by Barreto while Luis Gonzalez blasted a long-range drive over the top.
Paraguay were struggling to cope with Tevez who was sent sprawling by a Julio Manzur elbow while Aureliano Torres was also yellow carded for cutting down Mauro Rosales.
Rosales managed to head Kily Gonzalez's cross wide of the post from just three feet out as the match finally began to open up, free of the offside shackle which had dogged the first 45 minutes.
Paraguay's frustration boiled over in the 65th minute when Emilio Martinez was red-carded for a brutal elbow in the face of Andres D'Alessandro.
But they almost stunned Argentina with an equaliser in the 71st minute when Pablo Gimenez released Diego Figueredo but Lux pulled off a stunning one-handed save.
Barreto then stopped a Tevez charge but the Boca man still found Delgado whose drive from just inside the area was cleared off the line by Gamarra.
Figueredo became the second Paraguayan to be sent-off in the 82nd minute when he tried to sweep home a free-kick with his hand instead of his head.
