10 jersey is a storied one for Argentina , and Ariel Ortega did it proud with his performance against Jamaica . It also eliminated the Reggae Boyz and Japan , both making their debuts.
Japan also has no points from two games and also goes out with a game to play.
We wanted to win to make sure we would qualify. But sincerely I didn't think we would score so many. Taking advantage of a tentative and disorganized Jamaica, which fell apart after an expulsion in first-half injury time, Argentina dominated throughout at the muggy Parc des Princes. Ortega was the catalyst. The stocky playmaker, wearing the number 10 that Maradona donned during his illustrious career, scored in the 32nd and 55th minutes on similar, clinically-executed attacks.
