The friendly between Argentina and Honduras on Saturday (6) had a BIZARRE moment before the ball had even started rolling.

The organizers made a blunder and played, instead of the anthem of the hermanos... a CUMBIA. Watch the video:

The song played was Bombón Asesino, performed by the band Los Palmeras at the opening of the 2019 Copa Sudamericana final.

And that wasn’t all...

Argentina vs. Honduras had another curious moment, with goalkeeper Dibu Martínez (ruled out of the match) becoming a photographer for a day:

Argentina beat Honduras 2-0. Lionel Scaloni’s team will play one more friendly before their Copa debut — against Iceland, at 9:30 p.m. on Tuesday (9).

Argentina’s debut will be against Algeria, next Tuesday the 16th, at 10 p.m. Besides Algeria, the defending champion will also face Austria and Jordan.
