Argentina Falls 2-1 to Uruguay in First Match After Messi's Retirement
Argentina lost 1-2 to Uruguay in a friendly at La Bombonera on November 13, their first international match since Lionel Messi's retirement. Uruguay scored twice early in the second half—an own goal by Leonardo Balerdi in the 48th minute and Maximiliano Araújo's finish five minutes later—before Julián Álvarez pulled one back in the 73th with help from Gianluca Prestianni. Enzo Fernández called the loss undeserved, saying Argentina were the better team despite the 'random goals.' Young Nico Paz impressed with his creative energy up front, while the defeat ended a nearly three-year unbeaten home streak.
