In a commanding display, Argentina defeated Chile 3-0 in a crucial South American World Cup qualifying match. Second-half goals from Alexis Mac Allister, Julian Alvarez, and Paulo Dybala underscored their dominance on the field.

The absence of star players Lionel Messi and Angel Di Maria did not deter the Copa America champions, who received a tribute at the Monumental stadium following Di Maria's international retirement. Mac Allister broke the deadlock just three minutes into the second half with a first-time finish from an Alvarez cross. Alvarez doubled the lead with a spectacular long-range goal in the 84th minute.

Substitute Dybala sealed the victory in stoppage time, securing three points and leaving Argentina five points clear of Uruguay, who face Paraguay next. Argentina is set to play against Colombia in a rematch of the Copa America final, while Chile will host Bolivia.
