Argentina defeated Venezuela 1-0 in an International Friendly on 10 October, dominating proceedings through superior attacking intent and defensive solidity. The hosts controlled the match emphatically, registering 19 shots with 11 on target and accumulating 3.03 expected goals, whilst Venezuela managed only five attempts with a single effort on target and 0.81 xG. Giovani Lo Celso settled the contest with the match's only goal. Argentina's goalkeeper maintained a 90.91 per cent save percentage, conceding just 1.0 post-shot expected goals, reflecting the one-sided nature of the encounter. Venezuela's 4-4-2 setup offered little resistance to Argentina's 4-2-2-2 formation, which created numerous opportunities throughout the ninety minutes. The visitors' defensive approach limited their attacking threat significantly, unable to trouble Argentina's backline with any meaningful pressure. This comfortable victory demonstrates Argentina's attacking depth ahead of upcoming qualifiers.

Goalkeeper Performance
Read it this way: PSxG conceded is how dangerous the shots on target were, Goals conceded is how many actually went in, Goals saved is the gap between the two (higher is better, a minus means he should have saved more), and Save % is the share of on-target shots kept out.
