Argentina skipper Lionel Messi feels that the World Cup qualifier versus Peru was more of a physical fight than a football game, but was satisfied with the eventual outcome of the match. <img alt="" src="http://images.mid-day.com/2012/sep/messi_1.jpg" style="width: 400px; height: 345px; " /> Oh Spit: Argentina&rsquo;su00a0Lionel Messi during Wednesday&rsquo;s World Cup qualifier against Peru. Pic/AFP Carlos Zambrano gifted Peru a 1-0 lead after 22 minutes of play, but Gonzalo Higuain helped the Argentines to a 1-1 draw with his equaliser only 15 minutes later. &ldquo;It was a really tight game, and it was more fight than football. Away games like this are always difficult and you have to be strong,&rdquo; Messi stated to reporters. &ldquo;The pitch did not exactly help either, but I don&rsquo;t want to use that as an excuse. &ldquo;We would have preferred to bag the full three points, but the most important thing was not to lose. &ldquo;A draw is a good result as we still sit atop of the table. We will have to win our next game against Uruguay.&rdquo; Argentina have collected 14 points from seven games, and hold a one-point lead over runners-up Colombia.
