On Saturday, the cycle of friendly matches continued in the Old World. The 2018 World Cup champions, the Russians, hosted the Argentine national team with Lionel Messi at the helm in Moscow. The Russians held on for a long time, but towards the end of the match had to concede the advantage to their opponents. In the 86th minute, Sergio Aguero secured the victory for Argentina.
In other matches, the Spanish national team had no trouble against Costa Rica. "La Roja" left no hope for the visiting opponents from across the Atlantic with a 5-0 result. Jordi Alba, Alvaro Morata, Andres Iniesta, and a brace from David Silva led the Spaniards to victory.
