The attacker made on Monday his goal number 35 in 64 games of the Argentinean Team and has beat no other than the former soccer God Maradona, positioning himself as the only follower of Gabriel Batistuta, who reached 56 victories in 78 matches.

Maradona, who played in the team of his country from 1977 to 1994, scored 34 goals, the last one was on the World Cup of the United States in 1994 against Greece at the Foxboro Stadium of Boston.

Crespo, who has been a champion of the Italian Soccer League with the Inter of Milan, had reached the record of “Pelusa” (Maradona’s nickname) in the first match of the Copa America facing the team of the United States (4-1), after converting the two first fantastic goals of his team.

The historic top goal scorer of the Argentinean team is Gabriel Batistuta, who made 56 goals representing his country; eight of them were actually converted in World Cups.

However, after the execution from the twelve steps, the attacker sprained a muscle in his left leg, and had to leave the court and give his place to Diego Milito, and it’s safe to assume that he will be missing the next match against Paraguay.
