Johannesburg: Carlos Tevez struck twice as Argentina set up a rematch of their 1986 and 1990 World Cup finals with Germany, beating Mexico 3-1 in their second round match in Soccer City Sunday.
As in Germany's 4-1 defeat of England earlier, the game suffered a first half refereeing controversy when Carlos Tevez headed in Argentina's 26th minute opener. Television replays suggested he was well offside.
The Mexican players raised their arms in protest, coach Javier Aguirre appearing to point to the giant screen as his players berated Italian referee Roberto Rosetti who then went to his assistant linesman for confirmation.
