Argentina faced a challenging situation in the international friendly against Ecuador in the United States last night, struggling to cope without their star player Lionel Messi, who is sidelined due to injury for at least six weeks. The Albiceleste could only secure a goalless draw (0-0) in a match where the absence of Messi was palpable.
Lavezzi, Higuain, Aguero, and the rest of the team found it difficult against a dominant Ecuadorian side and only managed to pose a threat towards the end of the match. The absence of Messi’s influential presence was evident as Argentina failed to find the back of the net.
Looking ahead, Argentina will face another challenge in the upcoming confrontation against Bosnia next Tuesday, hoping to regroup and perform better without their star player. The team will likely seek to adjust their strategies and overcome the difficulties faced in the absence of Messi.
