Without Messi, Argentina beats Indonesia without difficulty

A Argentina had no trouble winning the Indonesia. Without Lionel Messi, the albiceleste selection went to the capital Jakarta and overcame the hosts with a score of 2 to 0. The current world champions entered with a mixed team and, even so, they did not have any kind of problem to guarantee the result. It is worth mentioning that the Argentines won the fourth consecutive game after the World Cup in Qatar.

With Argentina’s wide dominance, the team conceded just four submissions, and Martínez didn’t have to work to hold on to the result.

Thus, the 2022/23 season ended with winning the World Cup and four more victories after the historic walk in Qatar.

The game score was opened in the first stage. In the 39th minute, Leandro Paredes risked a shot from outside the area and scored a beautiful goal against Indonesia. The rival goalkeeper tried to defend, but did not reach the ball and saw it die in the back of the net. The steering wheel is even one of the most important pieces in the ‘Lionel Scaloni Era’.

At the start of the second half, Argentina scored another goal to secure victory against Indonesia. Without Messi on the field, the Argentines had a great header from Romero to make it 2 to 0. The Albiceleste team continued to attack, but the goalkeeper made other important saves and avoided what could have been a rout in the Indonesian capital.

With this Monday’s victory, the 19th, Argentina will have three more months to prepare for the start of the 2026 World Cup Qualifiers. Their debut is scheduled for September 4th, when they will face Ecuador . The time for the match is yet to be defined, but the current world champions will have a complicated rival ahead of them.
