Argentina ko nella prima senza Messi: l’Uruguay passa 2-1, autogol Balerdi

Argentina played its first official match after Lionel Messi’s retirement and ended in a 2‑1 defeat to Uruguay at La Bombonera. The home side took an early lead, but Balerdi's own goal and a late Uruguayan strike turned the tide. Coach Furlan's team capitalized on the mistake, while Messi's absence left a noticeable void. The result marked a somber debut for the new era of Argentine football.
