The 15th round of the 2022 World Preliminary South American Qualifiers ushered in the first match day. Argentina, whose lineup was seriously uneven, went to the desert stadium known as the "Devil's Home" to face Chile; however, to everyone's surprise, Argentina ended up playing a special role. In a difficult situation, a 2-1 victory was used to put all the opponent's arrangements in vain, and Chile had to swallow the first defeat of the new year with hatred at the door.

Due to his poor health after contracting the new crown, the leader of the Argentina team, Messi, finally chose to stay in Paris and was not called up by the coach; on the eve of the trip to Chile on the 27th, the meritorious coach Scaloni and Brighton midfielder McAllister Unfortunately, they were infected with the new crown at the same time. Assistant coach Aimar and Villa's front midfielder Buendia, who had had close contact with the two, also missed this fierce battle due to isolation and observation. However, what is surprising is that in the face of the Pampas Eagles, whose main force is incomplete and the captain and coach are all absent, Chile, which has the advantage of home and a neat lineup, not only failed to take the slightest advantage from the opponent, but in just a short period of time. Argentina, who was killed by the three armies in 8 minutes, was hit hard in the head: only 8 minutes after the opening whistle, De Paul and Padres immediately worked together to complete the steal when Inter Milan winger Sanchez broke through with the ball, and then the former The ball was sent to Di Maria's feet through a through ball; after successfully completing the connection with De Paul, Di Maria was still able to face the defenses of Purgar, Vegas and Medel from the right. Dribbling forward, and after a change of direction to get rid of the nearest Vegas, he swung his left foot and fired a world wave to give Argentina a 1-0 dream start. However, the advantage of the blue and white army only lasted for 11 minutes, and the defensive mistakes of Tagliafico and Otamendi immediately allowed the opponent's No. 10 Nunes to calmly send a deadly cross to complete teammate Bree. Don Diaz equalized with a header.

From 1-0 to 1-1, the balance of the game began to gradually tilt towards the Chilean side, and the situation on the field was completely controlled by the "South American Red Devils" as time progressed; however, in the face of Chile's stormy offensive However, the Pampas Eagles showed amazing fighting power and tenacious fighting spirit. Soon after, they took advantage of the big gift again: In the final 12 minutes of the game, Gomez took advantage of Vargas and Nunes. When there was a mistake, the stealing, passing, and passing were all in one go. DePaul immediately made a breakthrough from the middle to form a single-handed opportunity; although the long-range shot from the Atletico Madrid midfielder was saved by Bravo at the next moment, but the Chilean goal But they couldn't stop Lautaro's follow-up shot, and Maripan and Medel, who were not close to the Inter Milan striker, could only wait for the ball to sigh.

Seeing that the team was scored twice in a row by the visiting team in a favorable situation, Chile, who was eager to qualify, had to go all out to attack the next time. Unexpectedly, their slightly impatient and rapid offensive eventually led to the next 9 shots. There were only 3 more threatening shots: At the end of the first half, Paul Diaz came to the frontcourt and suddenly sent a world wave with a tricky angle, but unfortunately his long shot was accurately judged the direction of the shot. Martinez flew out and shut the door; in the 83rd minute, Chile's goal hero Brillton Diaz tried to use Montesinos's cross to knock on Argentina's door, but he took precautions early. Martinez ultimately failed to get his wish. After another 5 minutes, the Argentine left-back Tagliafico's clearance created an excellent shot for Breton Diaz, but the Chilean center kicked the ball unguarded. Out of the field, the game has no suspense at all. In the end, Argentina narrowly kept the score 2-1 until the end to seal the victory.
