Argentina Loses 2-1 to Uruguay in First Match After Messi's Retirement
Argentina lost 2-1 to Uruguay in their first match since Lionel Messi's international retirement. The game, held at La Bombonera in Buenos Aires, saw an own goal by Leonardo Balerdi and a goal from Maximiliano Araujo secure Uruguay's lead, while Julián Álvarez scored for Argentina. Under new coach Diego Forlán, Uruguay held on for the win. Argentina's coach Lionel Scaloni left Messi's iconic No. 10 jersey unassigned, reflecting the team's transition period. Argentina will face Costa Rica next.
