Argentina wins 1-0 against Uruguay, post-Messi potential shown

Argentina's football team won a World Cup qualifier against Uruguay, even without star player Lionel Messi. Several key players, including Lautaro Martinez and Paulo Dybala, were also missing due to injuries. Thiago Almada scored the only goal of the match in the 68th minute. His goal was set up by Julian Alvarez, who also had a strong game. The victory brings Argentina closer to qualifying for the next World Cup. Despite Uruguay having more possession of the ball, Argentina’s defense played a crucial role in the win. The match highlighted the potential of Almada and Alvarez to lead the team's attack after Messi's era. The goal came from a clever play between Almada and Alvarez. Alvarez attracted defenders, creating space for Almada, who then shot into the top corner. This teamwork shows promise for the future of the Argentine team. Both players demonstrated good passing and awareness throughout the match. Their chemistry, developed through previous experiences together, was evident as they created multiple scoring opportunities. While replacing Messi's playmaking skills is challenging, the game against Uruguay suggested that Almada and Alvarez might be capable of filling that gap effectively in the national team.
