Argentina dispatched Zambia 5-0 in an International Friendly on 1 April, demonstrating clinical finishing and defensive control from the outset. Operating in a 4-3-3 formation, the hosts dominated possession and created multiple opportunities, recording nine shots with five on target and an expected goals tally of 1.64. Zambia, set up in a 4-2-3-1 shape, offered minimal resistance, mustering just three shots—only one reaching the goalkeeper—and generating just 0.23 xG. Despite Zambia's goalkeeper recording a perfect save percentage, the gulf in quality proved insurmountable; Lionel Messi contributed one goal as Argentina's attack ran riot. Referee Alexis Herrera oversaw a one-sided contest that never threatened to develop into a competitive encounter. Argentina's emphatic victory underlines their attacking potency ahead of upcoming competitive fixtures.
