Beijing, Aug 20, 2008 (EFE via COMTEX) -- Argentine soccer star Sergio "Kun" Agüero dedicated one of the goals he scored here against Brazil to the child he is expecting with girlfriend Giannina Maradona, Diego Maradona's daughter, confirming rumors that had been swirling in the media.
His post-goal celebration let the world - and the Argentine gossip magazines in particular - know that his girlfriend is pregnant.
"Kun" was the star of Argentina's 3-0 win Tuesday over Brazil in Olympic soccer, scoring two goals to lead his team to the gold-medal match against Nigeria.
After giving his squad a 1-0 lead, Agüero - with soccer legend Diego Maradona in attendance at Workers' Stadium - sucked his thumb like a baby would with a pacifier, a common gesture soccer players make when they want to dedicate goals to their child.
"Yes, it was a pacifier. You all saw it," Agüero said after the game. "I dedicated the goal to Giannina and to my whole family who were watching the game from home. They miss me a lot."
Although Giannina was home in Buenos Aires, Diego Maradona decided to go to Beijing and cheer on the Argentina squad during some of its games. EFE
