Argentina, the reigning world champions, staged a remarkable comeback in a friendly showdown against Costa Rica, securing a 3-1 victory despite trailing 1-0 at halftime.
The absence of Lionel Messi, sidelined due to injury, was a notable setback for this team as they entered the clash at the Coliseum Stadium in Los Angeles.
Costa Rica sprung a surprise when Ugalde netted a goal in the 34th minute, giving them a 1-0 lead heading into halftime.
However, Argentina quickly turned the tide shortly after the break, with Angel Di Maria finding the net in the 52nd minute, followed by Mac Allister’s goal just four minutes later, propelling Argentina into a 2-1 lead.
Lautaro Martinez sealed the triumph in the 77th minute, making an impact just six minutes after coming on as a substitute for Garnacho.
