In the second half, Alejandro Garnacho entered the game and helped Paulo Dybala to seal Argentina’s 3-0 victory over Chile in the 2026 World Cup qualifying round.

In the 2026 World Cup Qualifiers, Argentina defeated Chile 3-0 on Thursday. Paulo Dybala, who scored with Lionel Messi’s normal No. 10 on his back, and Alejandro Garnacho both had a memorable game.

After substituting for Lautaro Martinez after 79 minutes, the Manchester United sensation had enough time on the pitch to make an impact on the match. Garnacho actually got to help one of his heroes.

A photo of a young Garnacho wearing a Dybala shirt went popular on social media shortly after the 20-year-old assisted Dybala’s score in Buenos Aires. The winger even sent an emotional tweet in response to the photo, saying, “Just football.”

The winger’s brother Roberto posted the image of a young Alejandro Garnacho wearing the Dybala shirt in 2016 on his X (formerly Twitter) account, causing it to become viral. An actualised dream.

A memorable evening for Dybala and Garnacho with Argentina

For this talented team on the Argentine national team, the 3-0 victory over Chile was very memorable. Garnacho played in Argentina for the first time, while Dybala scored in his return to La Albiceleste after missing the 2024 Copa America.

The young player from Manchester United had only represented Argentina in China, Indonesia, Bolivia, and the US until today. Will Dybala and Garnacho play together more frequently on the global scene? Fans are hoping that a new partnership is developed in Argentina, with Lionel Messi nearing retirement and Angel Di Maria retiring.
