The 3️⃣ standout players from Chile v Argentina in Santiago | OneFootball

Argentina defeated Chile at the National Stadium of Santiago, on the 15th date of the Conmebol Qualifiers for the 2026 World Cup in the United States, Canada, and Mexico.

The team led by Lionel Scaloni, already qualified, took to the field without Lionel Messi, and with young Nico Paz in his place, in addition to other variations that aim to revitalize the team.

Chile, on the other hand, had Alexis Sánchez and Arturo Vidal as great references from the start, and a push in the second half with the help of some of its emerging figures.

These are the 3️⃣ protagonists of the Chile-Argentina match in Santiago.

Lucas Cepeda

The Colo Colo winger, who in recent days has been the protagonist of a novel of rumors about his departure to foreign football, was the most unbalancing player for Chile.

In La Roja's best minutes, Cepeda was the main architect of the attacks, playing on the right.

Arturo Vidal

The 'King' had his share of protagonism, but not on the football field, where he has been disappointing lately, but for a gesture that quickly went viral: his challenge to Rodrigo De Paul.

Additionally, he received a yellow card and will be suspended for Chile's next match.

Julián Álvarez

'The Spider' is undoubtedly the great figure of the match, thanks to the great goal he scored, which gave Argentina the win.

The Atlético de Madrid striker is still on fire and confirming that he is one of the top scorers in the world: he only needed one chance to score, and he did it with a unique touch of distinction and quality.
