The read

Laying 1.5 goals against a highly disciplined Algerian side is a steep price, especially with Argentina missing starting left-back Nicolas Tagliafico and managing physical limitations for Lionel Messi and Emiliano Martinez. Under Vladimir Petkovic, Algeria's defensive core is bolstered by the return of Ramy Bensebaini, allowing them to absorb pressure and utilize the transition threat of Mohamed Amoura to stay competitive.
