Chelsea striker Hernan Crespo has opened the scoring for Argentina's Albiceleste in their Group C match against Ivory Coast in Hamburg.

Ivory Coast, playing their first ever match in the World Cup Finals, have been equalling the attacks of the South American giant's, but Chelsea's Hernan Crespo broke the dead-lock in the 24th minute to give Jose Pekerman's Albiceleste the lead.

Juan Riquelme's free-kick wasn't cleared by the Ivorian defence, and Crepo sneaked in to tap the opening goal in past Ivory Coast keeper Jean-Jacques Tizie.
