Goalscorer Nicolas Otamendi is celebrated by his teammates.

Only world champion Argentina is still clear after the third match in the South American qualification for the 2026 World Cup final. Brazil, on the other hand, loses its first points.

The Argentinians won the home match in Buenos Aires against Paraguay 1-0. Their superstar Lionel Messi (36) was initially on the bench. The only goal of the match came after just three minutes from Nicolas Otamendi (35), who took the lead after a corner volley. Messi was greeted with a standing ovation when he came on in the 53rd minute. It was the third victory for Argentina after the opener against Ecuador (1-0) and the away win in Bolivia (3-0).
