Really good start from Argentina as their width causes the Springboks all sorts of problems. Sanchez punishes ill-discipline to get the first points on the board.

3 - 3 |
Pollard shows nerves of steal in a tough environment to level the game up
|
| 12 |
6 - 3 |
If the Pumas are to win, they have to get points from their visits to the Boks' 22. Hernandez slots a drop-goal and Argentina have their lead
|
| 13 |
|
Pretty farcical scenes as Steve Walsh is prevented from checking a possible tip-tackle due to communication issues. He can't get hold of the TMO on his microphone, neither can the fourth official on the telephone so play goes on.

More front-row dominance from the Pumas as they draw a scrum penalty in their own 22

Lethal from the Springboks. Handling errors from the Pumas punished by Pienaar who hacks on in his own half and eventually Habana grounds it

Pollard - conversion

Another chance goes begging for the Pumas. They spread the ball wide and Tuculet has a relatively easy run in, or at least a chance to draw the defender and pass, but he knocks it on
|
| 39 |
|
Sanchez misses his second kick at the posts. They could prove costly
|

South Africa replace their beleaguered props with Argentina dominating them in that area
|

20 - 16 |
Argentina have their second try with Cubelli going over. Walsh checks it with the TMO but Le Roux's efforts to hold up the replacement scrum-half are in vain. Sanchez adds the extras
|
| 50 |
25 - 16 |
This is exceptional from the Pumas as Tuculet gets their second try in four minutes. Again Walsh checks with the TMO, but it is awarded
|

Sanchez keeps the scoreboard ticking over with Louw penalised for being offside
|

Great finish from Cornall Hendricks as he dots the ball down in the corner and Steyn adds the extras
|
| 64 |

Big moment for the Pumas as they draw a penalty on their own five-metre line in a scrum against the head

Sanchez misses a drop-goal and it remains a five-point game

Steyn adds the extras and in the blink of an eye South Africa are ahead

Bosch slots a long-range penalty and Argentina have a one-point lead
|
| 76 |
31 - 33 |
Steyn punishes the Pumas with a well-struck penalty and the Boks have their two-point lead back
|
| 80 |
|
And that's it. A massive opportunity for the Pumas to make history has slipped through their fingers but credit to the Boks who weren't at their best but they got the key win
