Argentina and El Salvador face each other in the friendly duel prior to the start of the Copa América 2024, at FedExField in Maryland, United States. In a duel in which Guatemala surprised, Lionel Messi took advantage of a rude error by the goalkeeper to tie the score.
The Albiceleste arrives in a good moment of form to the continental tournament, without major absences on the roster and with a large part of the squad that won the Qatar 2022 World Cup.
But neither coach Lionel Scaloni nor the players consider that it will be easy to revalidate the crown won in Brazil-2021.
Guatemala, under the leadership of Mexican Luis Fernando Tena, arrived in the United States for this match without one of its figures, Nathaniel Mendez-Laing, who plays for the English Derby County. Defender Aaron Herrera (DC United, MLS) will also not be there, affected by an injury.
