Argentina continued their trend of facing weaker national teams since winning the 2022 World Cup, defeating Mauritania 2-1 despite conceding a late goal. Enzo Fernández opened the scoring, followed by a free-kick goal from Nico Paz, who shone in his starting role. Lionel Messi, rested initially, came on in the second half as Argentina prepared for their next match against Zambia. The team’s recent friendlies have featured mostly lower-ranked opponents compared to rivals like Brazil.
