Argentina vs. Estonia: match preview
The team led by Lionel Scaloni has just given a great football demonstration last Wednesday in London, when they thrashed Italy 3-0 at Wembley Stadium in the match between the last champions of the Copa América and the European Championship.
With its resounding victory, Argentina reached the historical record of 32 games without losing, since falling to Brazil on July 2, 2019 in the semifinals of the Copa América, when the local team won 2-0 at the Mineirao stadium.
The Albiceleste thus surpassed the historical record that had been established during the cycle of DT Alfio Basile, when Argentina was undefeated from the coach’s debut in 1991 until the 2-1 fall in 1993 against Colombia in Barranquilla for the qualifiers for the United States World Cup. United-1994.
