Brazil 0 – Argentina 0 (June 18, 2008)
The classic that was played in Belo Horizonte for the Qualifiers for South Africa 2010 was forgettable.

The figure, however, was the then Argentine goalkeeper, Roberto Abbondanzieri, who covered the clearest ones.
Brazil: Julius Caesar; Maicon, Lúcio, Juan, Gilberto; Anderson, Gilberto Silva, Mineiro, Julio Baptista; Robinho and Adriano.
Argentina: Abbondanzieri; Burdisso, Coloccini, Heinze; Zanetti, Mascherano, Gago, Jonás Gutiérrez, Riquelme; Messi and Cruz
