Argentina defeated Jordan 1-0, with the game’s sole goal coming from Lo Celso. Goalkeeper Emiliano “Dibu” Martínez revealed a previously unknown contribution to the play, subtly influencing the set-piece that led to the goal. Martínez expressed discomfort with double defensive walls, indicating he communicated this to Lo Celso before the free kick. He suggested this communication played a part in Lo Celso’s successful shot. Martínez also stated he is recovering from an injury and anticipates being able to fully train and play normally soon. The win secured Argentina’s position in the next round of qualifying.
