The Argentine National Team Dominates Bolivia with a 3-0 Victory in South American Qualifiers

The Argentine world champion team gave Bolivia a real lesson at home in the 3600 meters of the Hernando Siles stadium in La Paz. Not even the advantage of adapting to height served the homeowner against an inspired Albiceleste that, even without Lionel Messi, offered a show of touches and display, and won 3-0 thanks to goals from Enzo Fernández, Nicolás Tagliafico and Nicolás González.

The Altiplano team did not stand at any time during the match for the second round of the South American Qualifiers. As a symptom of the bad day, coach Gustavo Costas made a change 25 minutes into the match, with Moisés Villarroel entering for Villamil. But he was unable to accommodate his team, which had just suffered a 5-1 defeat against Brazil in the debut.

Bolivia went 0-2 at half-time and with one less man due to the expulsion of Roberto Fernández, after a hard blow to Cuti Romero. In the second half he pushed a little more, but with the modifications Lionel Scaloni gave a second wind to the visit, which resolved the dispute to close the double day with a perfect score.

The one who was visibly upset was the aforementioned Costa, a former Argentine defender who was an idol of Racing and built a long career on the substitute benches in South America (he also had two excursions through Saudi Arabia, including a stint in Al Nassr that Cristiano enjoys today. Ronaldo). The counselor, 60 years old, was lapidary with his conduct at the post-stumble press conference.

Summary Bolivia Vs Argentina

“The attitude is what bothers me the most. Lose, you can lose, but not this way. The first half, what we had planned, worked on, the constant pressure, tiring them, not letting them play… It seemed that we suffered from the altitude, not them,” the wound healed. But her analysis was going to be even hotter.

“First you have to ask people for forgiveness, because then you have to be ashamed, you can’t lose like that. We didn’t do anything about everything we had planned. From the first minute Argentina had the ball. With ten men it was another game. It hurts to lose and this way. With Argentina in La Paz you can lose, but not this way. Our legs were shaking, we couldn’t make a pass. We cannot let people down like this,” he sought to shake up the locker room thinking about the upcoming dates on the way to the 2026 World Cup, to be held in October, when he will host Ecuador and visit Paraguay.

Soccer in the country is going through a deep crisis, to the point that the local league was interrupted due to allegations of corruption and match-fixing due to betting. And the selected one ended up being a reflection of what happens internally. Costas will seek to touch the intimate fibers of his pupils in search of a reaction, although we must see how his words were taken by the team captained by Marcelo Moreno Martins.
