In difficult times, the Argentine fans had a new opportunity to reunite with the National Team and on this special day it was nothing more and nothing less than to receive and celebrate with the champions of America, who cut an immense streak of 28 years without titles in the major. At the Monumental, it was all joy. Lionel Scaloni had made it clear that before reliving all that there was an important match to continue advancing in the classification to Qatar 2022 and in this fight Bolivia appears ahead, in a match that several minimize but not within the dressing room, who wanted to give away a new triumph.
This time, the coach is forced to get his hands on the team due to the absences of the Premier League players and also an extra variant with the departure of Gonzalo Montiel, compared to the starting eleven that played just 5 minutes against Brazil, in São Paulo, before the embarrassment. Therefore, for this duel against Bolivia, Scaloni opted for an eleven with changes and will have Juan Musso; Nahuel Molina Lucero, Germán Pezzella, Nicolás Otamendi, Marcos Acuña; Ángel Di María, Rodrigo De Paul, Leandro Paredes, Alejandro Gómez; Lionel Messi and Lautaro Martínez.Bolivia, on the other hand, took to the field with Carlos Lampe; José Sagredo, Jairo Quinteros, Luis Haquin, Adriano Jusino, Jesús Sagredo; Leonel Justiniano, Moisés Villarroel; Erwin Saavedra, Ramiro Vaca and; Marcelo Moreno Martins.
From the beginning of the match, Argentina adopted the dominance of the game and with high pressure generated danger on Lampe, but without finishing on the rival goal. However, after a recovery of Paredes, Lionel Messi took out an opponent with a pipe and left-handed put the ball next to a stick to make the Monumental explode.In the second half, it was Bolivia that dominated and put Argentina next to its goal, although without danger, but in the cons began to reverberate the offensive power of those of Scaloni. So it was that after a great double wall between Lautaro Martínez and Messi, the captain was in front of Lampe and sentenced the second. The second goal of the National Team dislocated the rival and since then the team was released, which had several opportunities to sentence the score. At the end, came the last of the game with the hat-trick of Messi, who took advantage of a rebound from Lampe to close the goal and the beginning of the celebrations in the Monumental.
