OCAMPOS STARTS IN ARGENTINA'S 1-0 WIN OVER BRAZIL

Lucas Ocampos is in some form. The Sevillista turned in a top-quality performance on Friday as he started for Argentina, showing that he is in one of his best spells of his career. The winger continues to feature in Lionel Scaloni's plans, who started him in a very demanding fixture against Brazil in Riyadh, the Saudi capital.  

The Albiceleste won the tie thanks to a first-half goal from Messi, bundling in the rebound after Alisson Becker had saved his initial effort from the spot. Ocampos played 74 minutes before being substituted for Stuttgart's Nicolás González. Argentina will play their final friendly of the year on Monday against Uruguay in Tel-Aviv, Israel.
