Great victory for the Argentine National Team to continue on the path of victories. He went after it in the second half, he was not satisfied with the tie and with two precise headers he took the three points.
How do we play?
For this match, the team abandoned the line of 3 practiced in the debut against Uruguay toreturn to the line of 4 defenders. In any case, one of them, Sofía Domínguez, is a regular midfielder and played as a right-back. Therefore, the objective generated in the previous one is that it has a vocation that is probably more offensive than defensive.
Another detail was the choice of the midfield. The 4 players chosen are midfielders used to playing in the center. Maricel Pereyra who played as a right midfielder, is a midfielder in San Lorenzo, and Florencia Bon Segundo, who played on the left wing, is a hook. Obviously they can perform these tasks but it speaks to the idea of dominating the midfield and having the wingers fulfill offensive functions.
To complete the 4-4-2 used, Kishi Núñez and Yamila Rodríguez with similar characteristics were the forwards of the team. Both tend to resolve quickly and generate movements to help the midfield in the development of the game.

At 70' Portanova placed 4 forwards on the field of play, to form a 4-3-3 with Pancha Altgelt (forward) in the middle of the field, to be even more offensive. The entry of Holzheier once again generated dynamics, and in addition to Bon Segundo already as a forward, Gramaglia entered as an area reference.
It is likely that the changes in a context where there is height and many games in a short time, are even more important and the National Team was able to take advantage of it.
The first goal comes with a good play where Bon Segundo, He enables Gramaglia on the right side, incredibly it is she who commands the center, with perfect calmness and precision at the head of Falfán to score the first.
