Argentina’s last-gasp game-winner

Amidst all the World Cup qualifying craziness of Saturday came one of the most dramatic finishes seen in quite some time.

No, I'm not talking about the U.S. team's win vs. Honduras, which was dramatic in its own right. I'm referring to Argentina's late game-winner vs. Peru. With just seconds remaining and with Argentina facing the very real prospect of falling into fifth place in South America's World Cup qualifying race, forward Martin Palermo knocked home a loose ball for a game-winner that will go down in Argentine history.

Enjoy:

Palermo! Palermo! Palermo!

What did you think of that last-gasp winner? Enjoy Maradona's belly-flop? Think Argentina will finish the job and qualify?
