Argentina vs. Brazil, 2012 Superclásico de las Américas: Game called off

The match has been suspended due to a floodlight failure at Estadio Centenario in Resistencia. The stadium is not one of the primary venues for national team matches and is currently the home to a fourth division side. There was not a serious power failure at the stadium, but rather a problem with one bank of lights that could not be fixed on short notice.

Argentina and Brazil will reschedule the match for a date to be determined. Brazil won the first leg of the Superclásico 2-1.

Of course, thanks to the recent rise of the Brasileirão and stabilization of the Argentine Primera, there are first team players in both squads. Maxi Rodríguez, Rodrigo Braña and Pablo Guiñazú are the regulars in the Argentina team for the match, while Brazil have Neymar, Leandro Damião, Lucas Moura and Dedé in their team.

In the first leg of the Superclásico, Brazil won 2-1 at home. The cup is determined by points, then goal difference. If the teams are tied on both, they will go to a penalty shootout to determine the winner.
