[inline_node:3525]Buenos Aires – Toronto captain Dwayne De Rosario was in action Monday for Canada in an international friendly against Argentina.

Using this match as a final tune-up for the upcoming FIFA 2010 World Cup in South Africa, head coach Diego Maradona had his side well prepared as they blasted Canada 5-0.

Liverpool winger Maxi Rodriguez scored the opening two goals, before Benfica's Angel Di Maria made it 3-0 at half. At the restart, Manchester City forward Carlos Tevez capitalized on an error by Houston Dynamo defender Andrew Hainault to give the Albicelestes a four goal advantage. Within seconds of his introduction to replace Tevez, Atletico Madrid and 2007 U-20 World Cup hero in Toronto, Sergio Aguero made it a five-star rout for the World Cup contenders.

De Rosario played 87 minutes and sent a 74th minute shot high over the bar in a match where Argentina dominated possession. He left the match without the appearance of any significant injuries. He will not be with Canada for their second friendly in Venezuela on May 29, and will rejoin his Toronto teammates in time for their next match away against San Jose (Saturday, May 29 at 10 p.m. on Rogers Sportsnet).
