On the night of September 30 to October 1, a friendly match took place between the Argentina national team and the Bolivia national team. The game was held at the Mario Alberto Kempes Stadium in Córdoba, Argentina, and ended with a 4-0 victory for Argentina.

The three-time world champions played without Lionel Messi, but goals came from forwards Lautaro Martinez and Jose Lopez, midfielder Nico Paz, and defender Cristian Romero.

Argentina’s next friendly is scheduled for October 4 at home against the Burkina Faso national team. Following that, the team will experience a historic moment: Messi‘s farewell match, where the opponents will be the Benin national team, a fortunate draw for the World Cup runners-up.
