Argentina began its friendly match by imposing absolute dominance over the course of the game, defeating its guest, Burkina Faso, with seven unanswered goals, in the match hosted by the “Monumental” Stadium in the capital, Buenos Aires.
The “Tango Dancers” decided the result of the match early; In the fourth minute, Lautaro Martinez opened the scoring following a penalty kick saved by goalkeeper Razzaq Guerra. The Burkinabe national team had barely woken up before Moumouni Diallo accidentally added Argentina’s second goal into its own net in the eighth minute.
The hosts continued their intense attacking pressure, with Gianluca Pristiani increasing the lead with a third goal in the 12th minute after a decisive pass from Martinez. As the visitors’ defensive collapse continued, the Argentine national team returned to strike strongly, scoring two adjacent goals through Nico Paz (35th minute) and Julian Alvarez (36th minute), to blow the whistle at the end of the first half with a wide lead of five clean goals.
In the second session, the Argentine national team maintained its high level of attack, which resulted in a seventh goal scored by Franco Mastantuno in the 57th minute, before Giuliano Simeone concluded the goal festival in the third minute of stoppage time for the match. On the other hand, the crossbar prevented the Argentine team from scoring an eighth goal following a powerful shot by Santiago Castro, so the confrontation ended with a sweeping victory of seven clean goals.
