Argentina's 6-0 demolition of Puerto Rico in an International Friendly on 15 October laid bare the gulf in quality between the sides. Operating in a 4-4-2 formation, Argentina's attacking dominance was comprehensive: they registered 25 shots with 11 on target, generating 3.58 expected goals and converting at a ruthless rate. Lautaro Martínez led the charge with two goals as Argentina's forwards overwhelmed a Puerto Rican defence that managed just five shots and 0.41 xG from their 4-3-3 setup. Despite Puerto Rico's goalkeeper producing a perfect 100% save percentage on the three shots he faced, the sheer volume and quality of Argentina's chances proved insurmountable. The scoreline reflects Argentina's clinical efficiency in a one-sided affair that offered little tactical intrigue. Argentina's firepower suggests continued strength in their qualifying campaign.

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.
