Argentina lost 2-1 to Uruguay in a friendly played at La Bombonera in Buenos Aires. It was the Albiceleste's first appearance since the farewell to Lionel Messi, and the stadium was largely empty. Uruguay's two goals came from set pieces, and Alvarez scored to close the gap.
The defeat came after a match in which the team held the ball for most of the game but did not create enough chances. Ticket prices kept fans away, and coach Scaloni declined to answer the question of who inherited the No. 10 shirt.
