Kooora: Argentina struggled without Messi, then found a late spark

Argentina’s first match in the post-Messi era ended in a 2–1 loss to Uruguay. Kooora says Argentina struggled to find attacking solutions against Uruguay’s organized defense. Uruguay’s first goal followed a set piece and a clearance that deflected into the net; the second came from a corner. Then Prestianni came on, and Kooora says Argentina’s attack picked up. He led a move from the left and assisted Julián Álvarez’s 72nd-minute goal, which cut the deficit to one. Kooora presents the sequence as an example of the greater responsibility Argentina’s players will need to share in Messi’s absence.
