Argentina dominated Paraguay all the way to the end, even without Lionel Messi starting. The goal by Nicolas Otamendi in the fourth minute appeared to portend an impending storm. However, Argentina would only manage that, even though it was sufficient for a 1-0 triumph. However, after halftime, Lionel Messi entered the game but was unable to alter the outcome, hitting the post twice, including one straight off a corner. CONMEBOL FIFA World Cup 2026 Qualifier: Colombia 2-2 Uruguay, Darwin Nunez's Stoppage-Time Penalty Rescues A Point For Uruguay
