Dybala and Higuain feature in Argentina win

Paulo Dybala and Gonzalo Higuain played 69 and 45 minutes respectively in Argentina's 1-0 friendly defeat of Brazil in today's prestige international friendly at the Melbourne Cricket Ground.

A sell-out 95,000 crowd watched on at the MCG - the scene pof two Juventus pre-season fixtures last summer against Melbourne Victory and Tottenham Hotspur - as Sevilla's Gabriel Mercado scored the game's only goal moments before half-time.

Juve's Alex Sandro was an unused substitute.

A further two Bianconeri will be in action on Friday evening: Stephan Lichtsteiner's Switzerland meet the Faroe Islands and Miralem Pjanic's Bosnia host Greece in World Cup qualifying.
