Argentina hit 7 as Burkina Faso land five hours before kick-off
Argentina produced a devastating display to thrash Burkina Faso 7-0 in a friendly overshadowed by problems surrounding the visitors' trip to Buenos Aires.
Argentina's national football team stunned Burkina Faso 7-0 in a friendly match held at Estadio Monumental. The African side arrived just five hours before kickoff after their private flight from Morocco was canceled due to a technical issue. Several Burkina Faso's senior players declined to travel due to fatigue, resulting in a young and inexperienced team taking the field.
Lautaro Martinez, Gianluca Prestianni, Nico Paz, Julian Alvarez, Franco Mastantuono, and Giuliano Simeone all scored for Argentina. Burkina Faso's own goal was scored by Moumoune Diallo. Argentina's coach, Lionel Scaloni, praised the Burkina Faso team for their commendable efforts and dedication, despite the challenging circumstances.
The match, featuring Burkina Faso's last appearance before the retirement of Lionel Messi from international football, promised to be an unforgettable day for all involved.
