In another friendly match in the United States, Argentina defeated Puerto Rico 6-0 thanks to goals from McAllister, Gonzalo Montiel, and Lautaro. Coach Scaloni said all national team players have a responsibility to show the fighting spirit they have given their all for this jersey.

Nicolas Gonzalez attempted a volley in the 14th minute, and McAllister in front of the goal headed the ball in, helping Argentina take the lead 1-0. In the 23rd minute, Messi assisted Gonzalo Montiel to score, making the score 2-0 for Argentina.

In the 36th minute, Manuel Lopez dealt with a defensive pass and McAllister scored with a push, helping Argentina continue to lead Puerto Rico 3-0. In the 64th minute of the second half, Puerto Rican defender Echevarria kicked the ball into his own goal while clearing the ball, allowing Argentina to further extend its lead to 4-0.

In the 79th minute, Nicolás González passed the ball to Lautaro, who slotted it into the empty net, making it 5-0 for Argentina. In the 84th minute, Messi assisted Lautaro, who then scored with a shot. Ultimately, Argentina defeated Puerto Rico 6-0 in this friendly match.

Argentina coach Scaloni said in an interview, "We are very clear about the significance of a new player being selected for the national team for the first time. When we put on this jersey for the first time, everyone will be nervous. Therefore, we will try our best to let them relax and enjoy it in the first few days."

"Nicholas Gonzalez can play in the defensive position because he has this ability, not because of the opponent. That is a relatively weak position in our lineup. At present, only Tagliafico is available. Acuña is not in good physical condition and cannot play, so we want to try Nicolas Gonzalez to play in that position."

Scaloni also said, "We increased the tempo of the game through precise passes while maintaining the advantage of not being easily counterattacked by the opponent. Such games are helpful to us. Players wearing the national team jersey have the responsibility to show everyone their attitude of giving their all for this jersey."

"Our most valuable asset is our young players. There are so many kids who look up to these players, so it's very important that our players set good examples. Every game that we put on this jersey is important and must be taken seriously."
