Just like he did against Uruguay a few months back, Angel Di Maria scored a wonderful goal to give Argentinathe momentarily lead in a World Cup Qualifier game. Early in the first half, the PSG star’s effort found the net to put his side in front beforeBen Brereton Diazequalized.

Even though they come from a fantastic 2021, which included a long-awaited Copa America triumph and a qualification for Qatar 2022, La Albiceleste arrived at this game with multiple problems.

Besides Lionel Messi‘s absence, manager Lionel Scaloni couldn’t travel to Chile and the team has suffered a number of issues since they traveled to Calama – including many hours at the airport and lack of water at the hotel. However, Di Maria made sure of getting his revenge by scoring a fantastic goal, although Brereton later tied the game.
